Book Reviews of Guns: What You Should Know (Concept Books (Albert Whitman))
Book Review: Perfect book to introduce gun safety to a preschooler
Summary: 5 Stars
When my son started pretending to shoot things with a gun (made from his hands, or sometimes a stick) a few weeks ago, I immediately thought to look for a book about gun safety aimed (no pun intended!) at preschoolers.
A children's librarian found this one for me. It is exactly what I wanted--a simple way to explain to my three-year-old that a real gun is very different from a toy or pretend gun. The brief, simple text talks about different kinds of guns (shoulder arms vs. hand guns), how a bullet works, and why guns are dangerous even though they don't look that way on TV. The text states that grownups have different opinions about gun laws in the United States, but that all grownups agree that children shouldn't play with guns. The final page gives rules for what to do if you (a child) ever find a gun.
The illustrations are explicit enough to prompt discussion, but not at all scary. This book has generated lots of productive conversation and questions about guns. Five stars for helping out a busy parent with a tough topic!
Summary of Guns: What You Should Know (Concept Books (Albert Whitman))
This simple, frank book gives curious information about guns without taking a side in the gun debate. After briefly talking about types of guns, Rachel Schulson explains that because children see shooting in movies or on TV, they might not realize how badly a gun can hurt someone. Safety rules at the back of the book will help parents share a critical subject with children. Full color.General Books
