You hope
your child never has to do it, but you want him or her to be
prepared. It's Time to Call 911 is a fabulous board
book that not only defines emergencies and tells a child
what to do in an emergency, it gives them some practice
dialing 911 without having to use the real phone.
This
board book features colorful illustrations, sturdy pages,
and a keypad that resembles a phone. When children correctly
press 9-1-1, they hear a man's voice say, "911, let's
go!", sirens, and a reward phrase, "Good
job!"
Emergency
situations, such as seeing a house on fire or if someone is
hurt and can't get up, are explained and illustrated. What
should be done? Kids can practice pressing the correct
numbers. If they enter the wrong sequence of numbers, a
short sound alerts them that the numbers were
incorrect.
Kids are
reminded that calling 911 is never something that should be
done just for fun. They are also encouraged to memorize
their address. This book is a smart idea! The emergency
situations are not presented in a detailed manner and are
therefore never overwhelming.
