BOOK DESCRIPTION 

​

The book’s main character is a frog named Gronwee. He does not talk much about his name because his mommy told him it sounds like frog legs in French. He has spots all over because he eats lots of jellybeans. He is interviewing for a safety role. Two children interview him, and he tells them how to be safe and secure. The title of the book is Kid, Safe and Secure. The topics he covers are: calling 911, having a magic circle around you for safety, having a meeting place outside your house, how to cross the street safely, wearing a helmet, wearing a seat belt, answering the door, what to do if there is a fire, swimming safety, having a code word, and washing your hands. The phrase: “Think, Think, Think. Tuck it away. Then you will be able to use it someday.” is repeated throughout the book after each safety message. Additional parent resources are included at the end of the book.
