This is more than just a book about how children can move. The sub-title is more true to the book. It covers so many aspects of healthy living using the Sharks swim team to tell the story. It deals with many areas of healthy active living such as: being active, setting goals, teamwork and supporting others, safety (i.e. wearing a bike helmet), healthy eating, warming up and more. This would be a great book for teachers to use in their health program. Each set of pages presents information with colourful and detailed illustrations, then there are questions to elicit a discussion with the listener. A great addition to a school, class, family or resource library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

The narrative is supplemented with facts and conversation starters to keep the reader/listener engaged. This book is recommended as a read aloud for ages 5-8.

This book talks about health to children while following along with some swim team members. It mentions briefly other organized sports and activities kids can do. I wish it had spent more time on how kids can get exercise in their own backyard or inside their home. Everyone can't be a part of an organized team. Climbing trees or stairs are more accessible exercises. Exercise without competition takes care of the stress problem one of the children in the story has. Kids need more of that. ( )
