From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 1—Each volume includes seven safety problems for children to think about and "solve." Each situation is shown on two spreads, beginning with the dilemma and suggestions for three possible resolutions. While there is a need for beginning readers on the subject, these titles are simplistic, discussing rules that school-age children should already know, such as not throwing a dictionary at a classmate (School) or not pushing (Playground). Home includes four ridiculous pages about not leaving juice boxes, banana peels, and granola-bar wrappers all over your bedroom. Another problem with the books is that the answer to each issue is always the letter "C," leaving most children with little incentive to think the problem through. Full-color photos appear on every page, but many of the children depicted look older than the intended audience. A nice idea, but these books fail to deliver.—Michele Sealander, Hamburg School, NJ
