Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists and Other Sex Offenders—Who They Are, How They Operate and How We Can Protect Our Children.
By Anna Salter The last of my favorite books is due out some time early next year, and can be obtained through Basic Books at www.basicbooks.com in 2003. ($26) Every parent, volunteer coordinator, human resources director and church and community member should read this book! The book explains how predators trick and manipulate normal people and why we aren't able to spot them. Dr. Salter offers tips on prevention for parents, lay people and organizations that focus on delivering services to children and the public. This book will help all of us do a better job of protecting our children and communities {mos_sb_discuss:17}

This book focuses on predators, psychopaths and criminals. Although fairly clinical and a bit academic, it is the first and most straightforward book about this highly dangerous population. Disturbing yet relevant to all of us; fascinating and well written. {mos_sb_discuss:17}

A Very Touching Book…for Little People and Big People
By Jan Hindman.
Available through Alexandria and Associates. ($11.95) www.janhindman.com Most parents haven't got the foggiest idea about how to start talking to their children about private parts or sexual abuse. For those of us who get "purple faces" when our kids say "penis" in the grocery store, this book is the ticket. It features great artwork and an entertaining approach to prevention education for children. If I had my way, this book would be on the bookshelf or coffee table of every home in America. Most appropriate for families with children ages 4–10. Takes the pain out of prevention talks at home! {mos_sb_discuss:17}
