Reviews

This series is designed to teach elementary students about taking care of themselves, both physically and emotionally. Unfamiliar or key concept words are defined within the text in brightly colored boxes. Interesting facts are highlighted in sidebars. Students can put their knowledge to use in hands-on activities. These titles are very brief, but offer a colorful introduction to health. This series offers nonfiction books about relevant topics for beginning or struggling readers.-- "Library Talk"
Two simply written titles that explain very briefly why exercise and getting enough sleep are important for children. Each spread has a full-color photograph that faces about four or five sentences of text. Moving has an activity pyramid and also discusses good nutrition. Sleep has a diagram of the sleep cycle and a discussion of somnambulism and nightmares. A "Guess What" feature gives additional tidbits of information. In Moving, the "Hands On" feature suggests a fitness test and in Sleep, keeping a dream diary.-- "School Library Journal"
