2 Official Kids Mag www.kidscoop.com Vicki Whiting June/July 2020 To escape from a fire in an upstairs bedroom, you should have a folding or rope ladder. Help this Dalmatian save her puppy by finding a safe path across the ladders. Happy August, Our worlds have been turned upside down these past few months. We've all been working from our homes and you have probably been attending classes on a computer. It makes us all aware of the importance of our health and safety. Our news page this month explains "What is coronavirus?" The precautions we can take will help keep us all healthy. The section on the Parent page will give advice to your parents to help explain it. "Germ Patrol" on Page 10 emphasizes the importance of washing our hands and provides tips on how to make it easy and effective. When we can get out and about, you'll want to jump on your bike. The Page 18 Bike Safety checklist is a great way to make sure that activity if safe. August is usually fire season. Our Smokey Bear page tells the background story of this famous symbol of fire prevention. On the lighter side, follow the clues on Page 6 to help Rita Rebus find out who invented s'mores—and better still, there's a recipe so we can all enjoy that treat. And there's the story of the great legend Paul Bunyan, who was said to clear the entire Midwest for the settlers. So, keep reading, keep the germs away, stay safe and healthy and let's look forward to a new (and different) school year. Dear Readers, What is coronavirus? ... Smokey Bear ............
