This children's book is an absolute gem! With its vibrant illustrations and clever rhymes, it instantly grabs the attention of little readers. I was hooked from the first page, and as a parent, I appreciated the important lesson it teaches about staying close to our loved ones in public places. The book delivers the message in a gentle yet effective manner, making it easy for kids to understand and remember. It's a great story to read together with your little ones, encouraging valuable discussions about safety and responsibility.

The story of a curious child who wanders around a mall without his parents is well done. The author answers the who, what, when, why, and how this happened. It takes just a second.

The illustrations are simple allowing the message to dominate.

This is a great teaching tool.

FYI: I wouldn't be prepared on a whim to define kidnapping and suggest having an age-appropriate answer prior to introducing the child to the book, as well I would prepare the child's caregivers to be on the same page.
