Being Safe: Taking Care of Yourself (Life Skills)

Is last week’s pasta safe to eat? What do I do if I get lost while hiking? What should I say if I need to call 911?

Each story has between 414 and 475 words with reading levels between grades 3 and 4.  Two pages of follow-up comprehension questions help to reinforce learning. 65 pages, softcover. Grades 6 and up.
