Colorful and imaginative, Slim Goodbody brings students to his world, showing how good health can be their world,
too.

Reflecting current thinking in health education, Well, Well, Well covers topics not only supplementing traditional teaching but also providing a wealth of stimulating visual elements that will inspire young people to take charge of their own healthy development. Students will develop an understanding and appreciation of their own bodies, learning valuable health habits — from the brain, skin, hair, eyes, ears, hands, and posture to energy, nutrition, exercise, emotions, safety, self-help (first aid), and self-knowledge.
