K-Gr 3-Helping kids to stay safe is an admirable goal. However, forcing them to wade through these titles is probably not the way to go about achieving it. Bright, clear photographs appear in all three books. Unfortunately, they don't always match the texts or captions. Bicycle has a picture captioned, "Make sure your bike has reflectors." Because the depicted vehicle is moving, the reflectors are a blur. Another illustration is a poorly matched conglomeration of computer clip art. The sentences are overly long for this audience and the writing style includes an annoying number of exclamation marks. Safety on the Go is the most unique of the group because it addresses public transportation. The same four Web sites are listed as sources for more information in all three books.
