Reading Is Child’s Play -- Books Get Kids to Exercise

July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- Len Saunders has been motivating children to exercise for over 20 years with his Project ACES event, where millions of children exercise simultaneously the first Wednesday in May.  Now, Len is getting young children to exercise while they read his new “An Adventure In Exercise” book series starring Joey the Kangaroo and Spunky the Monkey.

Spunky and Joey are both lovable characters that go on exercise adventures.  Children will read and interact with the books while they have fun exercising with each page.  This very unique approach has received much praise from parents, teachers, principals, and doctors.  Elizabeth Jemas states, “As a School Librarian, I have read Len Saunders' books to my Pre-school through 3rd grades and they loved them. We did the exercises as we read them and they were very inspired to do them. The illustrations are very kid friendly and the writing easy to follow with rhyming that appeals to young children.”

According to Saunders, “Exercise can be enjoyable for children when parents make it fun!  These books are like no other, as they will inspire young children to stay healthy and fit.”
