Description: A health picture book to keep close by—whether you have a cold, feel one coming on, or just want to stay healthy every day! Our precious little Ung has caught a cold. His nose is running and he's complaining about it. Then everyone starts wondering—maybe it's because of his dirty hands? But his hands protest, saying they were washed clean after playing at the playground. His throat can barely speak because he keeps coughing. Then his mouth pipes up, saying that Ung ate two ice creams yesterday—maybe that's why he caught a cold. His tummy chimes in too, saying it's because Ung didn't cover himself properly with a blanket while sleeping. So why did Ung really catch a cold? "The Cold Book" is a creative picture book that explains the symptoms and causes of a cold in a way that's easy for young children to understand. It helps little ones realize how precious their bodies are and think about what kind of habits keep them healthy. Ung has a cold. His nose keeps running. His nose grumbles, wondering if it's because of dirty hands. Then his mouth says that Ung ate two ice creams yesterday—maybe that's why he got sick. Then his tummy says it must be because Ung didn't cover himself with a blanket properly while sleeping. So what really caused Ung's cold? ★ Editor's Review Taking care of your health is taking care of your happiness! Health is directly connected to daily life. Even a tiny splinter in a fingertip can bother us all day long. Young children often don't understand why parents tell them to wash their hands and feet, or to eat a balanced diet. To them, it just feels like being stopped from doing what they want, or being made to do things they don't like. No matter how much we explain that it's for their health, to little ones it often just sounds like nagging. This is where a picture book like "The Cold Book" can help. Through Ung's experience with a cold, children can put themselves in his shoes. Having to get a shot, or lying in bed all day with a high fever—these experiences help children truly feel how scary it can be when their health takes a turn for the worse. At moments like these, be sure to tell your child: "When you're sick, Mommy feels sick too, seeing you that way." Let them know you hope they'll stay strong and healthy by living a healthy lifestyle. When one member of a family isn't feeling well, it affects the whole family. Remind your child that taking care of their health isn't just about protecting themselves—it's also about protecting the happiness of the family they love. ★ Keywords Cold, health, nose, sneeze, runny nose, hands, throat, cough, mouth, head, fever, tummy, eyes, ears, hospital, legs, bottom, shot, medicine, ice cream, blanket ★ Nuri Curriculum Connection Physical Activity & Health – Living a Healthy Life Communication – Listening / Speaking / Reading
