Picture books, activity books & early learning material

Back in print, this popular title from 1967 about child safety was last in print in 2000, but sales figures are not available.

With its strong theme about child safety that's more relevant now than ever, its $8.99 price point, and its fun rhyme and psychedelic artwork that looks hip again, we see this picture book selling well in both the trade and mass merch areas.

If you are hanging from a trapeze And up sneaks a camel with bony knees, Remember this rule, if you please- Never talk to strangers.

This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in-whether they're at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street-and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, '60s-style ""psychedelic"" artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant.
