Review

This title in the Handy Health Guide series provides a stellar treatment of diabetes. Presents in a clear format for younger readers in grades 3-6 the various issues dealing with the diagnosis, causes, treatments and life style choices persons with diabetes must make. The Handy Health fact boxes break up the amount of information in "digestible" doses and the font and short chapters are perfect for younger readers. The illustrations and the various tools for giving insulin and checking blood sugar levels are pictured. Layout includes glossary, books and websites.

Overall Book Score: excellent
