About This Book

A collection of short, illustrated tales and poems that teach basic principles of hygiene and health to young children.

Questions and songs follow the pieces to reinforce lessons, and a glossary clarifies terms. Material is designed for teachers and parents to present everyday health habits in an engaging, age-appropriate way.
