버클은 경찰관 아저씨입니다. 그리고 글로리아는 버클아저씨가 데리고 다니는 경찰견이죠.

경찰관인 버클아저씨는 여러 학교를 돌아 다니면서 안전에 관한 강연을 합니다. 하지만 학생들은 버클아저씨의 강연이 너무 따분해서 강연시간 내내 딴 짓만 합니다. 그런데 어느날 경찰견 글로리아와 함께 강연에 나왔는데 버클아저씨가 강연하는 동안 글로리아는 놀랍게도 버클아저씨 뒤에서 온 몸으로 시범을 보이는 거예요. 예를 들면 "물을 엎지르면 바로 닦을 것. 그렇지 않으면 다른 사람이 미끄러져 다칠 수 있다"라고 말하면 글로리아는 미끌어지는 흉내를 내는 거예요. 아이들은 눈이 휘둥그레 지고 글로리아가 시범을 보일 때 마다 우뢰와 같은 박수가 터져 나오고... 버클아저씨는 자기가 강연을 잘해서 그런 줄로 알고 있죠. 왜냐하면 글로리아는 버클아저씨가 안보는 틈을 타서 뒤에서 몰래 시범을 보이거든요.

글로리아의 묘기 때문에 버클아저씨의 안전 강연은 큰 인기를 얻게 되고 전국에서 강연 요청이 쇄도합니다. 그리고 강연을 본 아이들은 강연에서 배운 안전 수칙을 철저하게 지키게 되어서 사고가 크게 줄어들었지요. 그러던 어느날 버클아저씨의 강연이 TV에서 방영되고, 버클아저씨는 강연이 큰 인기를 끄는 이유가 글로리아 때문임을 알게 됩니다. 낙담한 버클 아저씨는...

유머가 넘치면서도 흐뭇한 결말을 맺는 너무나도 재미있는 그림책입니다.

Book Description
Officer Buckle is a roly-poly bloke, dedicated to teaching schoolchildren important safety tips, such as never put anything in your ear and never stand on a swivel chair. The problem is, Officer Buckle's school assemblies are dull, dull, dull, and the children of Napville just sleep, sleep, sleep. That is, until Gloria the police dog is invited along! Stealthily pantomiming each safety tip behind Officer Buckle's back, Gloria wins the children's hearts. Meanwhile Officer Buckle assumes the cheers and laughter are all for him. As the master comedian Jerry Lewis once explained, every slapstick artist needs a straight man! Children will be highly entertained by the laugh-out-loud, adorable illustrations in this 1996 Caldecott Medal winner, while learning the value of teamwork and a pawful of nifty safety tips.


Publishers Weekly *Starred Rrview*
Rathmann (Good Night, Gorilla) brings a lighter-than-air comic touch to this outstanding, solid-as-a-brick picture book. Officer Buckle, a mustachioed policeman who wears a crossed-out-banana-peel patch on his sleeve, has a passion for teaching students about safety, but his audiences tend to doze off during his lectures. They awaken, however, when police dog Gloria joins Buckle onstage. As Buckle speaks, Gloria-behind Buckle's back-mimes each safety lesson (e.g., leaping sky-high for ``Never leave a thumbtack where you might sit on it!'' and making her fur stand on end to illustrate ``Do not go swimming during electrical storms!''). School safety increases tenfold and Buckle and Gloria find themselves in great demand. But when he finally learns of his sidekick's secret sideshow, Buckle's feelings are terribly hurt. Rathmann's high-voltage cartoons, outlined in black ink for punchy contrast, capture her characters' every feeling, from Gloria's hammy glee and Buckle's surprised satisfaction to Gloria's shame at having tricked her partner. In a sound and sensitive conclusion, Gloria's disastrous attempt to go solo inspires Buckle's ``best safety tip yet'': ``Always stick with your buddy!'' As a bonus, equally sage sayings decorate the volume's endpapers.


School Library Journal *Starred Rrview*
A fresh, funny story about the wonders of teamwork. Officer Buckle is a safety-conscious policeman who spends his time devising tips for avoiding accidents. Unfortunately, the children of Napville School are an ungrateful audience, snoring through his lectures and ignoring his advice. Enter Gloria, Napville's new police dog and Officer Buckle's new partner. She accompanies him when he gives his lecture and performs her duties with aplomb. Buckle is surprised to see the children so attentive, but each time he checks on Gloria, she is sitting at attention. Thanks to the humorous illustrations, readers know what Buckle does not?Gloria is performing to beat the band, acting out the various accidents behind his back. Things are swell until a news team videotapes Buckle and his amazing sidekick and he learns that the reason for his newfound popularity is really Gloria's comedy routine. This sends the officer into quite a slump. Her act is a complete flop without him, however, and Napville School has its biggest accident ever after her solo performance. In the end, Buckle realizes that they're only successful as a team, and he is jolted out of his self-pitying funk. The vibrant palette of the cartoon art, as well as the amusing story, make this title an appealing read-aloud choice. Older children will enjoy poring over the many safety tips presented on the endpapers, all illustrated by Gloria's antics. A five-star performance.


Booklist
When rotund, good-natured Officer Buckle visits school assemblies to read off his sensible safety tips, the children listen, bored and polite, dozing off one by one. But when the new police dog, Gloria, stands behind him, secretly miming the dire consequences of acting imprudently, the children suddenly become attentive, laughing uproariously and applauding loudly. The good" policeman is first gratified with the response, then deflated to learn that Gloria was stealing the show. Finally, he realizes that he and Gloria make a great team, and they take their show on the road again, adding a new message, "ALWAYS STICK WITH YOUR BUDDY!" Like Officer Buckle and Gloria, the deadpan humor of the text and slapstick wit of the illustrations make a terrific combination. Large, expressive line drawings illustrate the characters with finesse, and the Kool-Aid-bright washes add energy and pizzazz. Children will enjoy the many safety-tip notes tacked up on the endpapers and around the borders of the jacket front. Somehow, the familiar advice (like "Never leave a bar of soap where someone might step on it" or "Never tilt your chair back on two legs" ) "is" more entertaining accompanied by little drawings of Gloria hamming it up.
