Keeping it clean is the message in The Tattletale Bathtub. Much to Jason’s surprise…he no sooner gets out of his tub when he hears, “He didn’t wash behind his ears!” Jason’s tub is not going to let him say ‘all done’ until he is thoroughly clean…down to making sure he leaves a clean bathtub! Personal hygiene is as important to success in life as nutrition and exercise. Bathtub games and adventures stimulate imagination, creativity and…bathing make you shine! This excellent early reader also has memory questions and helps teach hygiene in the early grades. A hygienic lifestyle encompasses both physical and emotional health. For children, good health and hygiene practices go hand-in-hand with effective learning. Equally, learning about having a healthy and hygienic lifestyle helps give children the independence and confidence to make well-informed decisions about their health, which have life-long implications. — www.theschoolrun.com/personal-hygiene-learning-children About the Author Award winning author Rusty McQuade is a native of West Virginia and attended the College of Health Sciences in Roanoke, VA.
