This "stranger danger" book has been lauded since 2003 for its effective, yet gentle, teaching of how to keep children alert to threats posed by adults with ill intent.
Not Everyone Is Nice teaches children what to do if a stranger approaches and reminds them that looking or acting Nice doesn\'t mean a person is safe.
Later that night, Kathy\'s parents use examples from nature of pretty but lethal plants and fish to show her that animals and people that look or seem Nice may be very dangerous.
Kathy is confused and hurt that the Nice man would leave so quickly.
Just before Kathy is ready to climb in, her mother arrives and the man speeds off.
