Officer Buckle and his police dog Gloria make a hilarious team in this book. Officer Buckle shares his safety tips with the students of Napville School. The children are usually very bored and often fall asleep--that is until Gloria comes along one day. Gloria begins to add comedy and acts out the tips Officer Buckle is saying. The kids fall in love with the team and other schools begin to ask to hear Officer Buckle and Gloria's safety tips.
Metafiction is present in this book through the playfulness that Gloria brings into the book. Gloria adds comedy to the book and the kids love her as she helps the author get several safety tips across in this book.
