This is an informational book about health and exercise. This is very basic information for children. I liked the book . It tells the child it is ok and beneficial to play. I thought it would be good for introduceing the study of health. An exstention could be to motivate a lethargic child. Discussing different types food and exercise would be fun. ( )

This color 24 page book is an excellent tool that can help kids understand the importance of exercise. Each page gives a reason as to why exercise is imperative to keeping fit and healthy. The book also gives other benefits of exercising such as making friends and spending time with the family. The book also gives suggestions for further research on keeping fit.

This is an easy book for beginning readers to learn about health and wellness. I lik that the book has vibrant colors and has pictures of kids of several races. I also lik that it is part of a series of easy to read informational books.

In the classroom I would use this book and others in the series during a health awareness unit. It may be a good idea to haved a 10 minute break every day for a short spurt of exercise between lessons too. We can discuss our favorite exercises and have a journal of what we eat and how much we exercise. Kids need to be aware and informed of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
