No Way, Slippery Slick!: A Child's First Book about Drugs

I had this book given to me for my daughter when she was small. When I read it to her, I emphasized the voices of the characters and we had a blast reading it. It is a very good way to teach children about peer pressure and saying "no", or in better terms found in the book, "No way Slippery Slick! No way!" My daughter really enjoyed the book and would read along with me. I would highly recommend this book. She is now sixteen and still remembers fondly reading this one.

This is a great book for young children about drugs, risk-taking and peer pressure. Slippery Slick is "cat" who appears again and again to Clever Kitten, offering all sorts of temptations, from pills from the medicine cabinet to hypodermic needles. But Clever Kitten knows how to answer him every time. The refrain ("No way, Slippery Slick! No Way!"), is very catchy, and children will quickly catch on and join in. The illustrations are colourful and eye-catching. A fun way to touch on a serious topic.
