A Creative Way To Reach Children
"To Be Safe During An Earthquake" is a creative way to reach children and educate them about earthquakes.Through this entertaining workbook children will learn about safety before, during and after an earthquake.With such a fun format, children will pay more attention and become more knowledgeable about earthquake preparedness.Maybe they will even teach their parents a thing or two about beingprepared for earthquakes!"

Director of Emergency Services, LA Unified School Dist.
I feel every elementary child would benefit from using the materialpresented in this book . . .We are committed to providing this book toelementary teachers throughout our district, and I highly recommend thatother districts consider this book as the standard for earthquakepreparedness instruction.The time to prepare is now.We need to makesure that our students will be ready to cope when the "big one"happens. ...

The best there is of its kind
Although in some ways encyclopedic, this is THE book to have if your child faces surgery or other serious hospital procedures. I agree with the other reviewer that it can be a bit scary, especially for children who may be visiting the hospital for relatively minor procedures such as x-rays or even day surgery. But for the child, at least 4yr and medically savvy, this book is ideal. It covers everything that children might see or experience. It does not offer the same openings for expressing fear and apprehension that A Hospital Story does, but The Hospital Book is clearly designed to be more or a resource book than a story book (and its length does not really allow you to just sit down and read it to your child--although I did with my 4 year old). My daughter was well prepared to understand anesthesia and recovery rooms/holding rooms, etc. and to have some sense of who all the many people were in the hospital.

Very indepth and realistic.Scary for young children.
My terminally ill daughter had been to many hospital visits and surgeries when I bought this book for her at four after reading the age range and Editor's Reviews above.She didn't like the real photos of children with tubes and wires in them.It may not be a good choice for children under 7,even if you want to introduce a little reality into the situation.Theblack and white photos can be bleak and depressing also.It desperatelyneeds new photos!

Garbage
I found this book both insulting and a waste of time.I read it ony because of the hype on the media behind the whole Tookie circus.

Yeah- Right
I was forced to read this idiot's garbage years ago and yeah I was a kid then, too.It was just as ridiculous then as it now that people are under the assumption that kids will go out and commit atrocities because we didn't read these kinds of books.You know what, I don't go around shooting people for $100 in their register because I already knew that was wrong.I don't need someone telling me that a life in gangs is difficult and wrong path to take- because I already had my self-esteem and knowledge of what is right and wrong.I learned that from my brothers.Parents and family members- Stop wasting your cash on garbage like this and start talking to each other.It makes more of a differnce than reading it in some lame book written by a criminal.

Haters Come is all shapes, colors and sizes
Why is it that people are so judgemental of the black man who makes mistakes...Even sometimes when there is no solid proof of his guilt. These books by Mr. Williams are positive for kids in inner city communities because they expose the truth about the struggles inner city youth are facing on a day to day basis. I bet both of the reviewers that posted 1 for ratings are white racist... I say that becuase Minority's have been murdered at the hands of white folks for many years.... very few ever got the death penalty. Where was the justice for slayed minorities. And why didn't people protest the various businesses that the Klan formed after they committed so many harsh crimes against blacks.I hope Tookie Williams books not only gain a kind of unexplainable revenue that shocks the world, but I hope that troubled youth read his book, identify with it, prove you hater wrong and go on to do great things in life one day twenty plus years down the line, giving a book they read by Tookie Williams credit for saving their lives...

Worst Clifford Book- don't waste your money!
Don't get me wrong... I like Clifford books, but this one is contrived and pointless.Clifford's supposed "pals" break the law, and then when they are captured, they convince big loveable Clifford to help them break out.I am a kindergarten teacher, and this is one of the ONLY children's books that I refuse to read to my kids-- it sends the wrong message.Please spend your money on something with a more positive message!

Clifford's Pals!
Join Emily Elizabeth and Clifford the big red dog as they go to a construction site with some dog friends.Clifford is so big he plays with the wrecking ball and gets his nose stuck in a huge pipe but he also gets a chance to save his friends.Oversized antics are fun!My three childrenlove Clifford because he is huge and yet cuddly.The books are alwaysfriendly and appealing. ...
