Safety Freebies

These 2 safety-themed activity books were given out as part of a sack of goodies during a park district organized neighborhood bicycle riding event. The only activity these things experienced was a brief stop in the scanner before being tossed in the recycling bin. My spidey sense warned me that there was skateboarding content about to go undocumented. If a tree falls in a forest to make a book that nobody reads, can anyone hear it?

Earl P. Nutt looks like a lively fellow. He’s talking about traffic safety, especially in and around TriMet mass transit in Portland.

Sure, he’d be smarter if he didn’t skate at the Max station, but he would be less radical too.

With a title like Faith and Fantasia, a Fable on Safety, you know you’re in for an exciting page turner.

Wearing a helmet while playing marbles is almost as funny as the idea of modern kids playing marbles. The skateboard looks like a wacky hybrid of a ski trainer and a Ripstick.
