The Whootie Safety Series The WHOOTIE series of story/coloring, safety-themed books, first appeared on the scene in the late 1980s. The charming stories feature valuable safety information and instructions taught by the knowledgeable Whootie, a very wise owl. They address the health- and life-threatening aspects of medicines as poisons, poisonous plants, household poisons, fire safety, and water safety. The series was very well received in homes, schools, and libraries. Now, in 2014, Whootie has returned to continue teaching, while bringing pleasure to children and their parents around the world. About Whootie WHOOTIE is my name, and I live on a farm with Jenny, Snowball Kitten, Pepper Puppy, Bucky Goat, Candy Calf, Patches Pony, and Jenny's parents. I enjoy playing with my friends, sometimes joined by neighbor Timmy. But my main purpose is to protect and rescue this adventurous bunch from dangerous situations... and because I love them so much, I teach them about the health- and life-threatening results that could occur from their hazardous adventures. Then, I instruct them on what to avoid, and stress safety rules, pointing out the dangers of medicines, poisonous plants and substances around the house, as well as water and fire safety. It makes me proud and I puff out my chest and ruffle my feathers when my little friends tell me, “Whootie, you are the wisest owl ever! You know everything! We are so lucky you are our friend!” Won’t you join us and be my friend, too? That would make me proud and happy!
