Never Talk to Strangers

Never Talk to Strangers

<i>If you are hanging from a trapeze<br>And up sneaks a camel with bony knees,<br>Remember this rule, if you please—<br>Never talk to strangers.<br><br></i>This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street—and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, ’60s-style “psychedelic” artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant.<br><br>Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s.<br><br>George Buckett was a popular children’s book illustrator during the 1960s.
