Todd makes a map for Fire Safety Week. It shows the escape routes his family needs to take in case their house catches fire. The map works well during a drill, but what happens when the smoke alarm beeps for real?
"After listening to a presentation in class about fire safety, the students are asked to go home and practice EDITH which stands for Exit Drills in the Home. Todd takes his assignment very seriously, and he makes a sketch of his house. Using pens and markers, he marks the primary and secondary escape routes for each room. He also creates a meeting place for the family so it will be easy to know in an emergency that everyone is safe and accounted for. Todd and his sister practice fire safety routines at home and Mom joins in. When the fire alarm really does start beeping, they all wonder where Dad is and what is really happening. The book contains a very good lesson about home fire safety, and the recommended activity is one that should be undertaken in each home. Kids would do well to share this book with parents and have the entire family work on a plan. The last page offers a few definitions, three books to read, and web sites that FactHound has checked out. Part of the “Read-It Readers” series, this is a Green Level in the Social Studies category." - Children's Literature Comprehensive Database

Susan Blackaby started writing in Mrs. Nichols' third grade class at Green Gables. She didn't think of becoming a writer until she had tried a few other things, including goat milking and weaving. Over the past 20 years, Susan has written textbooks, workbooks, and readers by the dozen for kids in elementary school. In 2002, her first trade book, Rembrandt's Hat, was named one of the top ten picture books of the year by the Washington Post. Susan lives in Portland, Oregon, with two people, two labs, and the nicest kitty in the world.
