Reviews

"The new version retains the lively combination of fact and narrative that has made this a great title for easy reading and for sharing aloud." -- Booklist "A chart of "rules for good health" reinforces healthful living. But what really enhances the text are the delightful color illustrations. The pictures are funny, but informative." -- Science Books and Films
