Nice and Nasty? Learning About Drugs and Health

This entertaining book covers basic issues of safety concerning medicines, drugs and other harmful substances. Simple, clear text by an expert writer for the very young addresses the child reader directly and poses open questions that encourage him or her to think about the issues in their own context. Thus, it will help to foster in the child a sense of responsibility for their own safety. The delightful illustrations by a highly successful illustrator provide many further opportunities for discussion between adult and child readers. A topic web for teachers and carers suggests ways to use the book for activities across the curriculum. The book is completed by a glossary, an index and a list of further resources that will help extend children’s learning.
