There's a great need for books like this. Hannah is a little girl whose fears keep her from overcoming life's challenges. But a big, bouncy dog, a treasure map, and an exciting outdoor adventure inspire Hannah to take one step at a time in the direction of health, happiness, and self-confidence. This is a book for any child who is afraid to try new things, as well as for any parent who wants to encourage his or her child to adopt a healthy, active lifestyle. Carol Goodrow has written an entertaining story with an important message.

First-of all, I'm a guy, so I didn't think I'd really get into it when I picked up my niece's copy of "The Treasure of Health and Happiness". Wow! Was I wrong. I started reading it, and I was so impressed, I didn't want to give it back to my niece! Excellently written message which comes through without being overbearing. I know that my niece (and her parents) will learn a lot from this book. Just an absolutely great book, with an equally great message. Thank you to the author for such a timely book!

I like it, and its thread. It is instructional without being in your face, obvious yet not onbtrusive to the facts that we should be giving to the next generation. A no-brainer that any parent should wish for this book to be on their child's bookshelf.

This is a wonderful book. It is a positive story that reinforces the joy of exercise and eating healthy. A great chapter book for boys and girls.
