This is the story of a little bunny who likes to be adventurous. Despite Mommy and Daddy's best efforts to teach Brecker Bunny the rules of burn safety, Brecker Bunny forgets and finds himself with a bad burn. But he learns his lesson and teaches others how to stay safe.

WAFS has provided a very helpful safety checklist for parents in the back of this book as well as a safety calendar with reminders about maintenance and care of household items.

Ideas from classroom teachers:

  • Give each child their own copy of Brecker Bunny Learns to be Careful! Then have them write 1 thing they learned on the back of the bookmark. Give them a sticker for being a super Bunny Buddy!
  • Use the Notecards to write a note to the Real Brecker Bunny or to thank your local fire department.

Ideas for Elementary Schools:

  • Give each teacher 2 books - 1 for the teacher to use and 1 to circulate among the students. Each night one student will take the book home, read it with somone, and write a safety tip they learned in the journal.

Little Jake (child with ADHD) is an enthusiastic and energetic little bus who always seems to be getting into trouble. He doesn’t mean to make people mad, but sometimes he gets distracted or has trouble with his self control. Throughout the story, Little Jake has very compassionate parents, educators and friends who try to help him get on the right track. He tries many suggested strategies, and although he sees that the strategies can work for other little buses, it isn’t quite working for him.

Just as he is about to give up and is quite sure there is something really wrong with him, Jake’s mother and father take him to the mechanic (a psychiatrist), who explains that there is nothing wrong with him; his stop sign ( brain’s filtering system/self control) is just stuck and needs a little oil (medication). He is encouraged to get help from a bus driver (psychologist/therapist), as well, to help him stay on the road to success. Little Jake is left hopeful and confident in his abilities to be successful and happy.
