Books to use for fire safety classes

It is a strange, but true, fact that parents and teachers can tell children how to be safe when there is a fire, but nothing gets the lesson across like using picture books for this purpose. October is Fire Safety month and is the time of the year when homeschooling and regular school teachers focus on teaching children fire safety practices.

This lens will focus on books I found to be very instrumental in teaching this concept in primary and elementary school classes.

Fire! Fire! by Gail Gibbons

Children learn about the different ways in which firefighters go about their work of putting out fires. The colorful pictures will certainly hold the child's attention and incite discussion topics throughout the book.
