Herkimer Meets MR. HOT

by Papa Guss, Joelle Best

Description Herkimer Meets MR. HOT is a story about a young frog who has an adventure learning about hot water. He has a real life experience while taking his bath under the watchful eye of his Mommie. That adventure teaches him how recognize danger so he can be safe and smart when MR. HOT is around. HOT should be the very first concept that a child learns and one of their first spoken words. Curiosity compels children to do dangerous things before communication and comprehension skills are fully developed. Early life includes dangers that can cause pain, injuries, scars, or unbearable loss of life. PAPA GUSS adventures temper and refine that curiosity at the earliest possible time. Most children comprehend by visual association before they can talk. This makes listening to engaging stories one of the most effective learning method in early life. When stories include parental hand motions with tightly focused illustrations, comprehension reaches its peak. The PAPA GUSS (Growing Up Safe and Smart) Child Safety Series teaches the basic child safety skills necessary to avoid preventable pain and injury. PAPA GUSS KID's learn to comprehend when danger is present and then apply injury avoidance skills that protect both them and their friends. Each adventure is written for toddlers through age six allowing early inclusion in the child's reading program. Everyone learns the risk your child will face during highly effective family quality time. Instilling safety skills in your children is the best outcome for everyone involved because it provides protection even when you cannot be present. Raising up a child in the way they should go remains the highest calling of parenthood. May your family be blessed with many safe, happy, and productive child rearing adventures.
