The Bubble Wrap Queen

by Julia Cook, Allison Valentine (Illustrator)

Overview

In The Bubble Wrap Queen, Julia Cook has created a book that teaches the key B.A.S.I.C.S of injury prevention, Be Aware and Safe in Common Situations, to creatively address:

• Playground safety
• Poison control
• Automobile safety
• Bicycle safety
• and more!

While The Bubble Wrap Queen undoubtedly makes learning these and other such safety messages more fun, the underlying messages are no laughing matter because the more your child enjoys reading and learning about them, the more they stick. And the more they stick, the more likely they are to save lives! Includes parent safety tips.

Editorial Reviews

Bubble wrap! It has an intriguing feel and a surprising sound when popped. It is used to wrap and protect our most delicate and precious possessions. Julia Cook creates a self proclaimed "Bubble Wrap Queen" whose humor and safety consciousness provides several important messages. The story's delightful tone will serve to teach and remind children and parents of the important precautions to play and live safely. Congratulations, Julia Cook!
