-
You will begin reading this book by selecting a character like when you start playing a game. Smalley, the character you have chosen, passes each stage to become a safety engineer by saving lives and collecting safety buttons. Reading this book from the beginning to the end is playing an amusing game. The game format is familiar to children and helps them enjoy learning and remember the significant safety regulations content for a long time, which can otherwise feel boring like nitpicking. Each stage is composed of the house and school where children spend most of their time, as well as the street and public place. With Smalley, children will have a chance to choose one among options concerning how they should be safe to act and find out if they chose the right answer, learning the safety regulations. This book not only takes into account the places children frequent but the dangerous factors which can occur regardless of the place and time. It helps readers perceive the danger of sexual violence and abduction and how to react when a fire accident or a natural disaster happens.
Following a game format, Im Jung Eun, the author, gives a witty and fun explanation of each situation and the action of Smalley. Reading the book with your eyes will be amusing while reading it out loud will be exciting, as if you have become a commentator of a game broadcast. Plus, the illustrations of Park Woo Hee impart slightly different ambiances for each place so it feels like a game graphic, successfully accomplishing the game format with clearly delivered contents, topped with fun and wonder.
