Donna DesRoches on 23 Jun 10Several titles in this series are a fit for the Saskatchewan Health Curriculum. "Written in a narrative style, interspersed with conversation and first-person accounts, the books have 13 chapters each, plus a table of contents, a glossary, an index and a page listing a few web sites for further information. Although the books have an American slant - there are referrals to the President's Challenge fitness program, and the Food Pyramid - this does not affect the reader's understanding of the concepts presented. In fact, any time a measurement is given in Imperial form, its metric counterpart is written in parentheses, and on nutrition labels, the amounts are always given in metric form. "
