Never Talk to Strangers

Never Talk to Strangers by Irma Joyce. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780307108760.

If you are hanging from a trapeze And up sneaks a camel with bony knees, Remember this rule, if you pleaseâ Never talk to strangers. This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves inâ whether theyâ re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their streetâ and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, â 60s-style â psychedelicâ artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant. Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s. George Buckett was a popular childrenâ s book illustrator during the 1960s.
