Gr 1–3—Intended to empower kids to make healthy and safe choices, these titles provide a nice overview. Well briefly covers MyPlate eating guidelines, healthy cooking methods, and natural versus processed foods. Though not as in-depth as other titles on the topic, it still works well as part of this series. Safe includes kitchen safety, stranger danger, peer pressure, online safety, accidents, and more. Rest, Clean, Feelings, and Fit cover other elements of wellness. Tieck advises against worry, emphasizes preparation, and explains the body's natural response to danger, which helps to temper scary topics. The large typeface and full-color photographs make these volumes easily digestible for young readers.
Double-page spreads with text on the left and captioned color photos on the right encourage healthy living. The books are positive, emphasizing moderation and explaining in clear language the reasons why it's important to eat well, get enough sleep, and maintain good hygiene. Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Get Healthy titles: Eat Well, Get Rest, and Keep Clean.
