  Monica used to love eating nothing but cakes, fizzy drinks, burgers, chips and pizza. Her mum and dad encouraged her to eat other kind of food, but Monica wasn't interested. That was until she met a girl called Rachel. Rachel liked things like salad. She told Monica all the terrible things that would happen to her if she kept drinking fizzy drinks and eating fatty foods, and never ate fresh fruit and vegetables. Now Monica eats as well as Rachel. She really enjoys eating this way, and just occasionally, she can still have a treat. The books in this series safisfy a number of requirements for the PSHE framework at Key Stage 1, for example they help readers recognize the differences between right and wrong, to improve their health and well-being, and to learn how their behaviour affects others. They are designed for parents and teachers to use with children. They can be used as a basis for conversation, and they incorporate a guessing game aspect which should encourage children to want to read on. Children can use the language of the text to write simple stories linked to personal experience - making the books useful for Literacy Hour. Notes for parents and teachers at the back suggest activities based on the topic, and links to the revised curriculum.
