Reviews

K-Gr 2—Vibrant color photos of families fill this reader series that looks at healthy activities and behaviors. Explanations of ideas, like refined versus whole grain, tie into a wider dialogue caregivers can share with children about processed foods. In addition to traditional ideas of health, such as eating and exercise, the author aims to demystify doctors' and dentists' offices using simple explanations and real photos from inside each. Included in each title is a miniature vocabulary list of words to help review the topics after reading the book. VERDICT The focus on vocabulary and real world scenarios that impact daily life make this a great choice for early elementary classrooms.
