This review is from: Health: The Basics, Green Edition (9th Edition) (Paperback)

This book arrived quickly in great condition and is just as described. I am using it for a summer course; it is easy to read but full of information. I would even recommend it for general reading based on the information about maintaining a healthy body and mind. The chapters make sense (nutrition, exercise, cardiovascular, etc.) and offer suggestions for improving your overall health and well-being. There are things in this book I always thought I should know…like which is the good kind of cholesterol, what alcohol gives you the worst hangover…but wasn’t sure where to find the medical answer. Now I know :)

My book did include the access code.

This review is from: The Monster Health Book: A Guide to Eating Healthy, Being Active, & Feeling Great for Monsters & Kids! (Hardcover)

For months I’d been trying to educate my 8-year old daughter about the foods she eats and to explain why some foods are healthier than others. She was more annoyed by my restrictions than interested in my rationale. I decided to go online to search for a book that might make the subject more fun and relevent. After an exhaustive search for something age-appropriate, I came upon this book and bought it.

Well, she absolutely loves it. The layout and progression of the content is perfect for her age group and the colors and graphics hold her interest. She told me she “loves” the book and is eager to read more of it each night. And she’s retaining the information. I found her reading the nutrition label of a cereal box this morning and tonight, without a word from me, she decided to have only one cookie instead of two.

I recommend this book for all parents who are hoping to communicate the value of good eating to their children. Although the reading level is listed as age 4-8, I think this book is most appropriate for 2nd through 5th graders.

This review is from: The Monster Health Book: A Guide to Eating Healthy, Being Active & Feeling Great for Monsters & Kids! (Paperback)

We have been talking a lot lately with my 7 year old daughter about eating healthy. She is a book worm and loves to read, so I wanted a book on this topic for her. I found this one and based on the 2 other reviews figured I’d give it a try.

The book is large (maybe 8-9″ square) paperback picture book style with lots of color and illustrations. It packs a lot of information in on a wide variety of topics, from the food groups, to exercise, nutritional labels, even drugs and smoking. It contains a lot of fun facts my daughter has really enjoyed ‘Mom, is a watermelon REALLY a berry!?’. This book would be suitable for reading to a Kindergartener, as well as older kids up to age 8 or 9, who can read it on their own.

My daughter has just devoured this book – I’ve found her reading it for hours over the past few days since we received it. A big hit, I’m so glad I got it! Now instead of my feeling like I’m lecturing them on health, she loves to tell us things!

Highly Recommended!
