Here are some book reviews and awards
that show why the books are a must for your family.
“Cartoon-style
illustrations add a touch of light humor to this very serious
and practical guide to minimizing the odds of dangerous or fatal
accidents… a well-rounded, erudite, and first-rate primer warning
of obvious and subtle daily hazards. Highly recommended; careful
perusal of the pages could potentially save lives.”

Rated 5 of 5 stars on Amazon by The Midwest Book Review
“This
is a worthwhile, readable volume ... and it is organized
for easy
reference.
Of course, not all accidents can be
prevented. Still, if more
of us took Myre’s suggestions to
heart, our world would be a lot
safer.”

A unique
feature of the books is the use
of
light-humored
illustrations and true
stories to help get the points across.
For years,
Gail kept her favorite captain’s chair with its comfortable
seat cushion beside her kitchen pantry. Not only was it an
attractive piece of furniture, it was also perfect to stand
on for reaching objects stored high in the pantry. On a
stylistic whim, she replaced the flat cushion with a thicker
version. The next time she climbed onto the chair, the
surprising thickness of the new cushion caused her to lose
her balance and crash to the floor, injuring her shoulder
and striking her head.
