"The most important book in our selection has to be Kids to the Rescue! This is the best 'first' first aid book that I have seen...it truly can be used to teach children as young as four years old to make the right choices in emergency situations."

"I think that kids my age (7) should read this book. If they have a frisky little sister like me, they're going to babysit her soon and they will need to know these things."
