Happy, Healthy Monsters: Get Moving with Grover


Happy Healthy Monsters: Get Moving with Grover is becoming one of my favorite books! It's the middle of winter and mostly too cold for playing outside much. Even with a child who seems to be constantly moving, it seems to be a more sedentary season. This book is a great tool for getting a child who loves to read off the couch and getting some exercise while having fun!
Grover and Elmo lead you and your child through a series of activities, most of which involve using the book (running around it in circles, jumping over it, holding it up while stretching, doing push-ups over it, dancing around it, and more). When we started to read it I wondered if my child would really get excited and want to do the activities, but there was no question about it! This is the perfect book to pull out when your child is begging to watch TV or hasn't had much physical activity. In fact, I wish there were more books available like this one.
