"Developed in conjunction with a dietician, Brian Cleary's new series makes learning about nutrition and exercise both fun and easy with full-color cartoon-like illustrations and rhyming verse. Amusing creatures animate each page, demonstrating the major points of the text with a humorous approach. Each title begins with a definition, examples, recommendations on amounts, health benefits, etc. Ending with a reference to the food pyramid and concrete examples of quantities, each book also references activities, teacher materials, etc. available on the author's website. Although this new series is clearly designed to entertain and make learning enjoyable, the text of each volume is carefully chosen to convey an abundance of detailed information about nutrition and exercise. The series is a perfect complement to a science or physical education curriculum making a sometimes dreary topic both entertaining and memorable. Recommended." --Library Media Connection
