PreS-Gr 2—In this inventive series, healthy habits in the animal kingdom and the human household are juxtaposed to emphasize the importance of good health, such as the fact that monkeys and apes floss their teeth with pieces of hair. With vibrant and fascinating full-color photographs and succinct texts, these titles are guaranteed to draw in children who might otherwise find the topic of healthy living a little dull. Eat makes nutrition recommendations and contains an image that shows the proportion of foods that we should eat, and even includes a small bit for sweets and oils. Move covers why exercise is important, while Sleep emphasizes the restorative powers of rest, and Wash goes over good hygiene. An all-around healthy treat.
Nine sections containing observations about healthy behaviors alternately focus on humans and a variety of animals. A final spread provides a checklist of specific "do's and don'ts" for humans. The large font, intriguing color pictures, and the human/animal comparisons will engage young readers. Most spreads include either a question-and-answer box or a "Think About It" box. Glos., ind. Review covers these Healthy Habits titles: Eat and Drink, Move and Run, Sleep and Rest, and Wash and Clean.
