Synopsis: How is Munro Leaf so successful in getting children to see it as it is? He talks to them straight. Now Leaf talks straight about an issue near and dear to parents everywhere: their children's health. In this 1943 classic (originally titled Health Can Be Fun), the bestselling author of How to Behave and Why and Manners Can Be Fun helps boys and girls understand why they should drink their milk, eat their vegetables, get exercise, go to bed on time, brush their teeth, keep clean, and a dozen other things both big and small that are important in building up strong, healthy, and happy bodies. With his trademark stick figure drawings and witty text, Leaf leaves his audience in no doubt that not only can health be fun, but good sense as well. Peals of mirthful laughter are sure to be heard from little readers, along with some big ones who will find this humorous hygiene handbook an indispensable aid in the all-too-familiar nighttime (come to think of it, all the time) war with their children about the merits of keeping good health. You can't afford not to give your child this book!
