SLJ Review of Live Well!

Want to learn what it takes to live well? Kids can read through these exciting titles to learn tips and tricks to have a healthier body and mind. Using a visual approach, readers can explore a variety of media from anatomical drawings, real photographs of kids, and illustrations that work together to explain how the body works when cared for.

The building blocks of each topic are addressed before the readers are given a more granular explanation of ideas like complex carbohydrates. Rather than choosing one singular approach, the author, for example, uses a combination of information from Harvard and USDA standards for building a plate that balances the discussions around both dairy and oils. ­

VERDICT: A fun addition for public or school libraries looking to expand their life sciences collections toward more lifestyle discussions.
