Poison Alert! By Gina Bellisario -ADVISABLE


Bellisario, Gina and Illustrated by Conger, Holli Poison Alert! My Tips to Avoid Danger Zones at Home 24 pgs. Millbrook Pr Trade, 2014. $6.95 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G.
Matthew loves to pretend he is a superhero named Mighty Matthew. One of his biggest jobs is to protect his little brother, Mega Mouth. He is called that because he likes to eat everything, even things that aren’t meant to be eaten. Mighty Matthew learns about what kinds of things need to be kept away from children and the whole family works towards making their home safer.
This book is great, but has a lot of big words, so it won’t work well for Pre-K. It really leaves no stone unturned and might be helpful to new parents as well as children! I like that the big brother helps his little brother and the superhero component was a brilliant addition.
