“Every letter had a drawing of Gloria on it. Officer Buckle thought the drawings showed a lot of imagination.”

I would use this book in the classroom to teach about rules in a way that students can relate to.

This book does a good job of illustrating how important it is to follow the rules, as well as the importance of teamwork in a fun way that children are able to grasp. Officer Buckle has trouble getting anyone to listen to his safety rules, until Gloria comes around and makes them fun for the kids to learn. Suddenly, everyone is being safe and Officer Buckle and Gloria are a great team.
so-soOfficer Buckle & Gloria by Peggy Rathman is about the value of working together and the importance of "sticking by your buddy". It had vibrant and dynamic illustrations that children may find silly!
