Format:Paperback
Topsy and Tim lead the reader through a series of real-life 'situations' where children need to exercise extra care and attention to stay safe, for example, crossing the road, near the cooker, when about to eat a poisonous berry, when a bee flies near them, and so on.
It's written in accessible language for a 3-5 year old, and the illustrations are kept nice and simple. Each situation has a 'positive' outcome, for example Topsy and Tim take a tiny toy out of a baby's mouth and 'save his life'.
However I do think you need to have the right context in which to read a child an entire book about all things dangerous - or else risk overwhelming them. I found it a bit overwhelming myself! MIght be better to use it to dip in and out of as needed and possibly not reading at bedtime :)

Excellent book with great subject matter. My granddaughter loves it, and it is a favourite bed time book.. Superb delivery and service.
Format:Paperback
Concepts covered in the book are
- don't stand on someone's shoelace!
- waiting for the green man when crossing the road
- don't put things you find outside (like berries) in your mouth
- stand still so the bee won't sting you
-don't lean out the window, or lean on the door
The book also mentioned various safety measures like a stair gate, someone checking if water is too hot, mummy cooking on hot stove, mummy cleaning up spilt milk, there being a lock on the cupboard with cleaning products in it, fire guard, grille over a pond etc. the book did not explain why these things are important. Or what to do if they were not there.
