4-6Kids & Obesity series.
This series presents information about obesity and its dangers. Two icons--a hamburger and a heart--provide statistics about nutrition and medical terms. The pages are cramped with generic photos, graphs, charts, and the occasional personal narrative. Although data is repeated throughout the series, the underlying position that "good health never goes out of style" and the advice about self-confidence are constructive. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Kids & Obesity titles: Getting Stronger, Getting Fit, The Truth About Diets, At Home in Your Body, and I Eat When I'm Sad.
