Note for Editors

Harey, the hare-brained rabbit, spends much of his time rushing around and not thinking, which inevitably causes several accidents in the stories. Scampi, the cat, is the wisest of the characters and spends her time helping Harey to avoid accidents. Chips, the dog, is often the victim of Harey's adventures and Pillow, the parrot, repeats everything to emphasise the safety message. With safety DangerSpot stickers for use around the home and a page of safety information the books aim to help prevent accidents by focusing the lessons on safety while entertaining children. It is sometimes very difficult to teach a young child all the dangers that might occur within the home but a single image of the sticker placed in the appropriate places might then bring home the message.
