Staying Clean (Pull Ahead Books ― Health)($16.05Value)

Description

Why is staying clean so important? Staying clean by washing hands, taking baths, brushing teeth, and keeping cuts clean helps prevent people from getting sick. Staying clean keeps people healthy. PreS-Gr. 1. Using small words and short sentences, this entry in the Pull-Ahead Books: Health series explains to young children the importance of keeping themselves clean. Each page features a few lines of text illustrated with a full-color photo of a child or children. In one practical section, Nelson not only explains when and why it is important to wash one's hands but she also describes how to do it well. Other topics introduced include brushing teeth and avoiding head lice. The book concludes with short lists of books and Web sites as well as a glossary. Given the importance of hygiene to children in day care, preschool, and early-elementary-school classes, this little book will help reinforce these ideas and good practices. Other additions to the series include Avoiding Drugs, Killing Germs, Playing Safely, and Staying Happy. Carolyn Phelan Copyright © American Library Association.
