Poison Safe Kinders

Trouble At the Party is a thoughtful and important picture book designed to teach kindergarten students about the dangers of poisons and what to do if they ever encounter something unsafe. The story is engaging and age-appropriate, using simple language and relatable scenarios that young children can understand. One of the book’s strengths is how it empowers children to take action if they find something suspicious. If I had to adapt the book for a kinder's classroom, I would be replacing the generic scream of “Help” with the screamed-out name of a trusted safe grown-up hero, making the lesson even more concrete for JK and SK students. Similarly, I would substitute “big person” with “safe grown-up” throughout the book. This change helps reinforce the idea that not all adults are automatically safe, and it encourages children to seek out safe adults when they need help. The illustrations are colorful and expressive, capturing the attention of young readers and helping to reinforce the book’s important safety messages. The story also encourages discussion, making it a great springboard for classroom conversations about safety, trust, and making good choices. Final Thoughts Trouble At the Party is a valuable resource for teaching young children about poison safety in a non-scary, approachable way. With a few simple adaptations, it can be made even more relevant and effective for your own classroom or home. Highly recommended for teachers and parents who want to empower their children to stay safe!
