Product Description Well illustrated and easy to understand, this simple first aid book helps kids think calmly and wisely in a number of situations in which they are likely to find themselves. The authors--one a teacher and the other a firefighter and paramedic--provide step-by-step instructions for handling such common problems as cuts, bloody noses, stings, electric shock, and burns. The book opens with a note for parents explaining how children can practice the first aid techniques, and concludes with a first aid quiz and instructions on calling 9-1-1 and other emergency numbers. This revised edition also includes information on HIV safety. Review "Informative, up-to-date and ... set up to encourage parents and children to learn together by role-playing helpful responses." "This is the best 'first' first aid book I have ever seen ... it truly can be used to teach children as young as four years old to make the right choices in emergency situations."
