Well illustrated and easy to understand, this simple first aid book
helps kids think calmly and wisely in a number of situations in which
they are likely to find themselves. The authors--one a teacher and the
other a firefighter and paramedic--provide step-by-step instructions for
handling such common problems as cuts, bloody noses, stings, electric
shock, and burns. The book opens with a note for parents explaining how
children can practice the first aid techniques, and concludes with a
first aid quiz and instructions on calling 9-1-1 and other emergency
numbers. This revised edition also includes information on HIV safety.
