Product Description: The Stray Bullet deals with the subject of gun safety and non-violence for very young children. Written from the bullet's point of view, the children are asked to solve the dilemma of taking of life or saving a life. The Stray Bullet's focus is on life's choices, non-violence and safety for all human life. It creatively instills in children from preschool age on the importance of their own life and respect for others. It also creatively reinforces the concept that guns are not toys, that they can hurt people and should not be touched.
Amazing!! This book was outstanding! Not only were the visuals and concepts brilliant, but the message delivered my Ms. Mangal was inspiring. I hope that you not only share this book with your sons and daughters, but also hope our educators can get their hands on it and make it mandatory for today's youth to read, learn, and enjoy!! -H.

Dangerous I bought this book for the peaceCENTER, which is the local organizer for the Million Mom March for gun safety. Not trusting my own reaction, I passed the book around our core group of peace educators. The bullet is adorable, and therein lies the rub. If I were a young child, I would want to find a gun RIGHT NOW so I could play with the cute little bullet and look down the barrel to take a peek into her wonderful gun house. Towards the end of the book, the stray bullet is pregnant with a baby bullet. The illustrations are beautiful and the author's sincerity was never doubted, but the intended age level is in no way sophisticated enough to understand that Ms. Bullet is an attractive nuisance and not a potential playmate. For those looking for a good gun education book for young children, I would recommend Guns Are Not For Fun, which we also bought through Amazon, not nearly as pretty but delivering an unambiguous gun safety message.
