about healthy living in a way th<strong>at</strong><br />
will involve any youngster.<br />

such ‘engaging’ conditions as<br />
headlice, worms <strong>and</strong> wind so<br />
terrible th<strong>at</strong> it endangers the<br />
local community. In each case,<br />
Dr Dog’s diagnosis is graphically<br />
described. This book provides<br />
sound lessons about health <strong>and</strong><br />
hygiene in a most amusing way.<br />

children.<br />

Using<br />
Dr Dog<br />
in the Classroom<br />
Greenfields School used the<br />
book with Year 5 children <strong>and</strong><br />
whilst they were reading it <strong>and</strong><br />
making comments their teacher<br />
got a feel <strong>for</strong> their<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the issues.<br />
She discovered <strong>for</strong> instance th<strong>at</strong><br />
they all knew th<strong>at</strong> smoking was<br />
bad <strong>for</strong> you but did not know<br />
wh<strong>at</strong> tar was. The teacher was<br />
then able to discuss the gaps in<br />
their knowledge.<br />
St. Bridget’s School used the<br />
book with Year 2 who all<br />
thought it was very funny.<br />
The children felt th<strong>at</strong> they had<br />
all learnt something new <strong>and</strong><br />
more importantly they learnt<br />
why they shouldn’t be doing<br />
certain things!
