Peanut's Emergency

Peanut's Emergency by Cristina Salat is an excellent way to portray to children the importance of having an "emergency plan". Events and plans in life do not always pan out the way we expect them to, so knowing what to do, who to call or where to go is an amazing strategy for parents to discuss with their children. In Peanut's Emergency we meet a young girl, Peanut, who after the last day of school expects to be picked up by her mother. Yet, something seems uncomfortably wrong when her mother never shows up at her school. With everyone gone, including her teacher Ms. Sarah Anne, Peanut is left with the decision of what to do in order to be safe and find her mother. Peanut encounters many situations in which she must use her better judgment and lessons her parents taught her in order to find her mother or her way home. Filled with life lessons, good decision making and problem solving strategies, Peanut's Emergency is a great book to read to children to teach them the importance of emergency plans, judgment and problem solving.
