CHAPTER ONE
Your Skin and Hair
You have skin everywhere on your body. Your skin helps
you to touch things. It helps you to know when things are hot
or cold. Skin stops dirt getting into your body. It stops water
getting into your body when it's rainy and when you swim.
Hair grows out of your skin. Hair on your arms and legs
stands up when you're cold. This stops your body getting too
cold. Your skin makes sweat when you're hot. This stops your
body getting too hot.
Protect your body! Wash every day, so you can get dirt
and sweat off your skin and hair.

CHAPTER TWO
Your Bones
There are bones under your skin. These bones make your
skeleton. Your skeleton helps you to stand up.
There are joints in your skeleton, too. Bones meet at
joints. Elbows and knees are joints. Joints help you to move.
Knee joints help you to jump and kick.
A baby has small bones. Bones grow and they make you
big and tall.
Your bones stop growing when you are about 20 years
old. Then there are 206 bones in your body!
Protect your bones! When you ride a skateboard, wear
pads to protect your bones and joints. Wear a helmet to protect
your head, too.

Your Muscles
What helps your bones and joints to walk, run, dance, and
jump? Muscles! Muscles pull your bones to move your body.
Muscles in your legs help you to ride a bicycle. Muscles in
your arms help you to row a boat.
There are more than 600 muscles in your body!
Running, swimming, dancing, and riding a bicycle are
types of exercise. Exercise makes your muscles, bones, and
joints strong. Your heart is a type of muscle. Exercise makes
your heart strong, too.

CHAPTER FOUR
Your Eyes and Ears
Your eyes help you to see the world around you. They
open and close many times every day. This is called blinking.
When your eyes blink, they wash dirt out of your eyes.
At night, your eyes close so you can sleep.
Your ears help you to listen to music. They help you to
listen for cars in the street. Your ears can hear things when you
sleep, too!
Protect your eyes and ears! On sunny days, wear
sunglasses to protect your eyes. Don't listen to very loud music
- it's bad for your ears.

Your nose helps you to smell things. Your mouth helps
you to talk and eat. Your teeth bite food so you can eat it. Your
body uses food to live and grow.
Protect your teeth! Brush your teeth after breakfast and
after dinner, and don't eat lots of candy.

you what your eyes see! Your brain tells you what you see,
hear, and touch. It tells your muscles when to move. It helps
you to write, speak, draw, and do puzzles. Your brain is
amazing!
Your brain works all day and at night when you sleep! At
night, it makes you breathe and it makes your heart work. At

in the day.
