This book features a younger grade class who starts a
lockdown drill, but things gradually go wrong as they talk, are distracted by
things in the area like a button on a vacuum, and eventually they panic. The
teacher is a school police officer who reviews the rules and they try again-that’s
what practice is for. Feature large color illustrations.
This book is good in that it can be used by a teacher to
introduce the required Lockdown drills that every school must practice and it
doesn’t go into detail about the why’s. The part that would confuse the
students at my school is the school police officer. At least around here only
middle and high schools have these officers, I think. I wish the book showed at
least a teacher present. Teachers might use this at the start of the school year, but students wouldn't read it on their own.
