Fire drill, though a life saving procedure, can be hard to explain to kids. This book, however, works like a charm. It capitalizes on little ones’ fondness for rhymes and uses it creatively to deliver the essential nature of a fire drill without any sense of alarm.

The illustrations, created using cut-paper collages, are exceptional too!

The book is a must-have on all counts.

Excerpt

Hear your name.

Raise your hand.

Say out loud: “Here I am!”

Now we wait.

Now we stay.
