The Monster Health Book

A friendly green monster helps make what could be a dull and dry series of health lectures into a fun romp through life including scattered trivia. Focusing on nutrition and healthy habits, more than two-thirds of the book is nutrition information. The balance focuses on exercise, sleep and healthy habits. While the book is fun, it is also packed with information from the food pyramid, food groups and their nutrients, reading nutrition labels, and mealtime suggestions. Sections of food issues will need explaining to younger students but provide and excellent place to initiate the discussion.
