“Frederic the Paramedic: Respond to the Allergic Reaction!” is a wonderful storybook that teaches young children about food allergies, whether or not they are coping with them themselves. We believe the book should be required reading in all elementary schools to help students understand and respond to allergic reactions they or their classmates might experience.
Here is a summary of the book from Amazon:
Oh, no! Emma accidentally took a bite of a peanut butter cookie and is having a allergic reaction at the Giggle Grove Indoor Playground! Frederick the Paramedic is off to the scene, but he needs a partner! Will your Junior Paramedic help him? Your Junior medic will make sure the ambulance is working, they have all their equipment, assess and treat poor Emma!
Along the way, your Junior Paramedic will:
— Help Frederick the Paramedic check out his ambulance, find the right equipment, and help Emma!
— Learn about what allergens may trigger allergic reactions so they can be safe, and be safe around their friends and family
— Identify the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction
— Learn about who may help during and allergic reaction
— Pick the correct treatments that may help an allergic reaction
— Report to the nurses and Drs. everything they saw, what they did, and how Emma is feeling!
Authors Chris and Nicole Blongiewicz have over 35 years of combined experience as paramedics. They crafted a fun, interactive way to raise awareness about allergic reactions.
We purchased a copy and will donate it to our local library and plan to purchase two more to donate to our local elementary schools. Consider doing likewise to educate the children in your community!
