The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety

A fun and innovative tool introducing children to the basics of safety while teaching them to count to 10 and their ABC’s.

Editorial Review from the Midwest Book Review:

Reviewer's Choice - May 2013 edition of Children's Bookwatch

"The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety is more than an alphabet and counting picture book.  Its colorful illustrations and simple instructions are meant to be shared between parents (or preschool educators) and children ages 2-5, as a means of teaching basic safety principles.  From "K - Kick - If someone you don't know tries to grab you, you should fight back, KICK, scream loudly and try to run away!" to "P - Pool - Samson says, 'Always ask Mom or Dad for permission before getting into a POOL!  Do not get in the water without an adult there to watch you.'", drilling these basic tips could quite literally save a young child's life.  The bright, charming pictures and the friendly faces of the multicultural "All-Star Safety Patrol Kids" make learning safe behavior fun, not frightening.  The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety is designed to be a personalized book, encouraging little ones to write their own name, age grandparent's names, etc. in the counting section.  An excellent gift for little ones or their parents.  The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety is worthy of the highest recommendation."

From Leti Cuellar, Training & Curriculum Specialist, JBSA Lackland Child Development Center:

"I would like to thank Mrs. Sharon Blacknall for her wonderful presentation that she conducted for our preschool children, at the Lackland Child Development Center.  The book, "The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety", was a great hit with our children.  Sharon touched on topics such as ants, bullying, electric plugs, stray dogs, gifts from strangers, just to name a few.  Her enthusiasm and expressive tone kept the children engaged.  She gave the children time for questions, and then recognized each one individually with a coin, and said that they were now "All-Star Safety Patrol Kids."  She ended the presentation by playing the song "Happy" and the children all danced.  It was a great presentation that all children in the Air Force and Public schools need to attend.  Thank you so much!"

"....When Sharon talks to our children about safety, they listen and they learn.  But, not only do the kids learn, they frequently teach their own parents about such basic safety concerns as the need to wear a seat belt.  Sharon's new book, The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety, continues to receive terrific reviews from parents and professionals alike.  The book itself is foundational for what Sharon strives to accomplish--to ensure that our children know and put into practice, along with their parents, the basics of safety.  I endorse Military Veterans Against Child Abuse and its founder, Sharon Martin Blacknall, without hesitation." - Ben D. Craver, Assistant Executive Director and Campus Dean at Wayland Baptist University

From Rene Arceneaux, Director of the Truth Tent, Grace First Baptist Church

"It was a delight to have Sharon Blacknall personally read "The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety" to the youth of Grace First Baptist Church.  The information shared is priceless!  It's been a year and our kids are still talking about the child safety tips that were shared.  Thank you for caring about our children!"

"I love the information you are providing.  Knowledge is the key.  As a mother of five, I want to keep my children safe." - Raquel Wideman Marshall

"....I appreciate the proactive nature this organization stands for, and I strongly recommend every military base and school across the country to implement the readings and core teachings of the The ABC's and 123's of Child Safety written by the founder of MVACAUNITED as it is fun and easy to read, geared toward keeping the worlds of children safe!!!" - K. Porter, Mother of one
