From scrapes to scratches, head bumps to bruises, learn all about the basics of first aid and how to put together a first aid kit for your house in this fun, friendly, and fact-filled book.
Nikki and Enzo are playing a game about accidents . . . LOTS of accidents. When Nikki’s dinosaur crashes into the train station and bumps his head, Enzo’s mom, who’s a doctor, introduces the two children to some simple first aid, like wrapping ice in a cloth and holding it to the bump. As the game continues, more casualties are discovered (or averted) thanks to Mom’s practical advice on things like nosebleeds, allergies, sick stomachs, water safety, and how to get help quickly in an emergency. With a running narrative, useful tips scattered throughout, and friendly illustrations, this charming story will keep young children engaged and serve as a valuable teaching tool for parents and teachers. Hard cover, 32 pages, 10.9 x 10 inch (27.7 x 25.4 cm).
