Synopses & Reviews
This simple, frank book gives curious children information about guns without taking a side in the gun debate.
After briefly talking about types of guns and how they work, the author focuses on safety issues. Schulson explains that because children see shooting in movies or on TV, they might not realize how badly a gun can hurt someone. And that no matter how grownups feel about guns, they all agree that children should never play with guns.
Safety rules at the back of the book will help parents share a critical subject with children. Guns: What You Should Know is a potentially life-saving book presented in a direct and factual manner. The author lives in Texas; the illustrator lives in Illinois.
