"The children at Napville School never used to listen to Officer Buckle as he talked to them about safety tips, that is, until he started to bring his police dog Gloria with him. The children stared with rapt attention as Officer Buckle gave safety tips, so long as he brought Gloria along, as she did tricks while Officer Buckle spoke. This book is very cute! My daughter loved it! :)"
"This book was so colorful and the message will reach the littlest readers! A message of resigning ego, teamwork and togetherness! The students of Napville School are bored to death of rules and lectures. They fall asleep during the assembly when Officer Buckle presents saftey tips to them. One day he brings his police dog Gloria, and behind him she acts out all the tips as he reads them. Officer doesn't know this until he sees himself on the news! He gets angry and quits. He thought the new found enthusiasm for his speeches was all his own! In the end, they realize they make a great team and decide to work together."
"When I read this book to my students, they really enjoyed it. I would usually read this book when we discussed the community and people in the community. The enjoyed watching the dog's antics and the amazing things it could do without the officer knowing about it. I think it helps students focus on a sense of community and that every person/job contributes to the community and safety of others."
"Summary: Officer Buckle is a roly-poly bloke, dedicated to teaching schoolchildren important safety tips, such as never put anything in your ear and never stand on a swivel chair. The problem is, Officer Buckle's school assemblies are dull, dull, dull, and the children of Napville just sleep, sleep, sleep. That is, until Gloria the police dog is invited along! Stealthily pantomiming each safety tip behind Officer Buckle's back, Gloria wins the children's hearts. Meanwhile Officer Buckle assumes the cheers and laughter are all for him. As the master comedian Jerry Lewis once explained, every slapstick artist needs a straight man! Children will be highly entertained by the laugh-out-loud, adorable illustrations in this 1996 Caldecott Medal winner, while learning the value of teamwork and a pawful of nifty safety tips.
