Sugar is one of the paradoxes in life that seems good, tastes good, feels good, but isn't good for you. How can you help children understand? This children's picture book will help you teach the paradox of sugar to your children and grandchildren, and begin their understanding of addiction through a cute story. Tommy Tortoise has become the favorite book of my grandson who just turned 5—he brought it for his bedtime story three nights in a row. It is the story of a tortoise who loves to eats sweets but learns in school that sugar isn't good for him. He thinks he has found his way around this information and ignores his teacher's advice. Of course reality breaks through when he gets sick. The pictures are adorable pencil sketches that keep children from 4-8 engaged through Tommy's learning adventure.
