Stover is an interesting book written by Kathy Brodsky. For starters it stars a pig who goes by the name Stover. Stover is not a big fat pig, but features a pig who is trying to eat better, stay fit and in general be a little healthier. I think a very interesting point in the book is when the main character is happy with not seeing an real difference in the way she looks. This is a very realistic interpretation of what happens when working out for the first, even up to the third-forth week of working out. Any difference will be slow and steady, but well worth it. Most exercises for kids books would show a dramatic change quickly, but is unrealistic and when kids actually do try to be healthy they expect fast change right now! (and reminds us of the same- and helps kid understand healthy eating habits and the importance of being active.) Thanks, Stover for showing kids how to live healthy by eating right and exercising , not crash dieting.
AND- good thoughts for the kids, and good reinforcement if you are (like me) trying to be healthier, and improve your life and the life of your family 🙂

With childhood obesity at an all time high, this would be a great book to share at story time.
Thanks for sharing!
How super is this? I’m going to get it.
Definitely sounds like a book my kids would like.
I can always use a book like this for my children! Thanks for sharing!
cute book idea
This sounds like a great book to help kids learn to eat healthy.
This looks like a great book for my boys. I’d like to get them interested in trying to be healthier.
Very nice approach in this book. At first I didn’t like the pig on the cover, but it sounds like it sends a positive message. Plus it’s important to connected lifestyle habits with healthy, not that thin necessarily means healthy.
