Miss Mingo and the Fire Drill by Jamie Harper

Harper, Jamie Miss Mingo and the Fire Drill, 40 pgs. Candlewick Press, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. $15.99. Stop, Drop and Roll! The students in Miss Mingo's class are in for a treat as they learn about fire safety....at least they think they are until they realize that is can be a scary thing! As they go through the different steps of a fire drill, each student is worried about something different. As each animal-student gets scared, they use different protective mechanisms to defend themselves. This would be a great book to help students prepare for an actual fire drill in school! It would also be a great book to discuss what certain animals do when they are scared or threatened. EL-ESSENTIAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
