No Dragons for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids (and Dragons) by Jean Pendziwol, illustrated by Martine Gourbault 1999A young girl invites a dragon over for tea, not realizing the turn of events a sneeze can cause. The dragon's "a-choo" causes a fire to start, and panic to set in. But there's no need to worry because the girl knows just what to do when the smoke alarm goes off. She proceeds to teach the dragon, and us, through the funny, rhyming verse.
Pendziwol emphasizes the importance of the individual rather than the stuff a child might want to save during a fire. She reminds us to have a safety checklist (included in the back of the book), and the important role that the firemen and women play during an emergency of this kind.
This story will stimulate wonderful conversation with your child.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
