More than 37,000 earthquakes occur annually in California. Even the slightest tremor can be frightening for children.
To Be Safe During an Earthquake and Other Emergencies, a book by husband-and-wife team Mary Bowen and Monty Ruth, is a book of stories, puzzles, games, mazes and exercises designed to help educate elementary school children about what to expect and what to do in order to remain safe. It also contains safety information about hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning storms, fires and floods.
It can be used as a tool for educators to teach children how to reduce injuries and save lives during earthquakes and other natural disasters.
The book includes a pair of special "decoder glasses" to help readers find hidden messages.
The book, which costs $15.95, can be ordered from Five Star Publications, P.O. Box 6698, Chandler, AZ 85246-6698. For more information, call (480) 940-8182 or visit the Web site [www.fivestar support.com].
