TEXT BY CLAIRE LLEWELLYN, ILLUSTRATED BY MIKE GORDON

Kids are taught the importance of learning to swim, and are advised on following safety rules in pools. They are also instructed on the extra care they must take when at the seashore, and the need to follow safety rules when they are in open boats. Clearly written in brief passages that are easy for younger children to absorb and understand, the "Watch Out " series of color-illustrated books give kids safety advice that applies inside and outside the home, while they are traveling in a car, and when they are enjoying nature and having outdoor fun. The lessons illustrated in all "Watch Out " books help children identify safety issues and avoid potentially dangerous situations. Appealing cartoon-style illustrations on every page.
