(4) K-3 Cloverleaf Books: My Healthy Habits series. Illustrated by Renée Kurilla. For narrator Anna, "Math + Spelling + Soccer = STRESS" (personified by a furry, red Muppet-like creature). Anna learns about "good stress" and "bad stress" and some coping mechanisms for dealing with the latter. Exaggeratedly cartoony illustrations + easy resolution = not very realistic or believable. However, kids may come away with some useful stress-busting strategies. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Cloverleaf Books: My Healthy Habits series. Illustrated by Holli Conger. "Tuna salad? Yuck!" begins picky-eater narrator Lucas in this book about trying new--and "healthful!"--foods. Dad and Lucas take a tour of the grocery store, where they learn all about the five food groups, steering clear of cookies and opting for raisins instead. Exaggeratedly cartoony illustrations show an ever-smiling Lucas happily changing his ways. It's unrealistic, but kids may glean some good-food facts. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Cloverleaf Books: My Healthy Habits series. Illustrated by Renée Kurilla. On her class's field day, super-cheerful Natalie ("captain of the Beach Ball Relay!") relates, in exclamation-point-heavy text, some basic information about exercise and its importance in kids' lives. Exaggeratedly cartoony illustrations show Natalie and her classmates doing the three types of exercise: aerobic, anaerobic, and stretching. It's all very basic but may get kids moving.
