Healthy for Life

What I really like about this book is its informal, non-preachy approach, which will really encourage children to take notice without feeling 'got at' * Parents In Touch *

 

Particulary topical at the moment ... A fantastic book to educate students on the importance of improving lifestyles * School Librarian *

 

I would recommend this to other readers because it gives useful tips on how to keep fit and it was a colourful book to read. * Evening Echo *
