A Stranger in the Park : A Caution Crew Book (Caution Crew) (Caution Crew)

A Stranger in the Park : A Caution Crew Book (Caution Crew) (Caution Crew)

The "nice man" needs help finding his lost puppy. An excellent non-scary teaching tool for parents to read to children and discuss the family who unknowingly set the stage for an attempted kidnaping of their daughter in the park. When the "nice man" is arrested, the Police Chief cautions and teaches Grant and Karen about safety rules and challenges them to teach other kids. Grant and Karen begin with their multi-cultural, multi-racial neighborhood friends and they form a group and call themselves THE CAUTION CREWâ„¢. They proceed to teach other children important personal safety rules. Cautioncrew.com, a site designed for children, reinforces these safety rules and lists state policies for missing children.

Children 3-11 will experience a story about children like themselves in 36 pages of beautiful color. The Summary of Personal Safety Tips, plus fill in the blank, will help children learn the importance of acquiring and practicing personal safety rules. 1. Never talk to strangers. 2 Know your telephone number. 3. Know your street address. 4. Be aware of people near you when your parents are not with you. 5. No grownup should ever ask you for help. They should ask another grownup. 6. You do not have to touch a car or go near the car to talk to someone in that car. A person sitting in a car can grab you if you get too close. So, talk from a distance. 7. If a stranger grabs you and no one is around to help, fall to the ground and let your body be totally limp like a rag. Practice this. 8. If a stranger touches you, yell "help" or "This is not my dad" or "This is not my mom." Practice this also.

A web site devoted to the Caution Crew contains the children from the book teaching specific safety tips to children. : Cautioncrew.com is an upbeat and non-threatening learning site for children

This story is dull, and it goes on for too long without anything interesting happening. My students were quickly bored with it; I feel I wasted my money on this one.

Children of all ages will benefit
rating: 5

Having appreciated the teaching nature of "A Stranger in the Park", my wife and I purchased the book for friends and family with children a variety of ages. All of the feedback we've received has been very positive. The book has provided a forum for their families to discuss safety and the relevant rules. We highly recommend this book to any parent interested in engaging their children in a discussion about safety.

Very educational and creative
rating: 5

I wasn't looking for a book about stranger danger, but I am glad I found this. There is a great lesson to be learned here. The story is well told and well drawn. I was able to read this to my girls ages 4 and 9 and they both understood the message and lesson. I was particularly attracted to the fact that this story can be read to kids without creating fear or tension about regular activities around strangers. The author was right about the book not scaring parents or children. I think it is a worthy book and hope the next one is as good. T.H. Tulsa, OK.

As a crime prevention specialist, I highly recommend it.
rating: 5

This book is an excellent tool for educating children about personal safety. Younger children can easily follow along as the story is read to them, and the crime prevention message is very solid. The material is presented in a way that empowers the child, as opposed to frightening them, and it has a universal quality that tends to make it interesting and appealing to children from a variety of cultures. As a certified Crime Prevention Specialist and a member of the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners, I am very selective in the resources I recommend. However, I was so impressed with this book that I recommend it without reservation to parents, teachers, or crime prevention personnel working with young children.

The children loved it!
rating: 5

I have two young children and they both loved the pictures. They also understood the story. I thought that was the most impressive aspect of the book.
