(4) K-3 SandCastle: Healthy Habits series. This book's opening question--"What is a healthy habit?"--isn't really answered. Instead, examples of age-appropriate activities (playing soccer, sledding, riding bikes) are described in one or two simple sentences with full-color, up-close photos on double-page spreads. A final question invites readers' input, and a quiz reviews information. A slight but satisfactory reading exercise. Glos.
