Ready, Steady, Grow!

This first experience book for the very young is about growing up strong and well, promoting the values of healthy eating, exercise, and keeping clean. The charming pictures and simple text show toddlers in a range of situations that help them to grow up well—eating lots of vegetables; running, jumping, skipping, and cycling; and, of course, remembering to brush and brush and brush one’s teeth.

The book ends with a detachable growth chart, with even more advice, so toddlers can see how they measure up. The concluding message is that it’s not all about being tall, but being truly well.
