Ready, Steady, Grow! - Tapa dura

This first experience book for the very young is about growing up strong and well, promoting the values of healthy eating, exercise and keeping clean. The charming pictures and simple text show toddlers in a range of situations that help them to grow up well - eating lots of vegetables, running, jumping, skipping and cycling, and of course remembering to scrub and scrub and scrub one's teeth. The concluding message is that it's not all about being tall, but being truly well.
