 "Very well done. I especially liked the cartoon format and the use of the boys (Josh) to present the information. This material is aligned with the Illinois State Goals for Learning Nos. 22, 23 and 24." — Marcy Coppernoll, Curriculum Director, Hult Health Education Center, Peoria (IL)

"For special needs students, it is very detailed. Good information on body changes during puberty, sleep, nutrition & exercise. Good demonstrations of bathing, tooth brushing, etc." - Peggy Mudd, RN, School Nurse, Pasco School District, Pasco, WA.
