"Owen washes his hands with soap and water before he eats, while his mother serves a green salad. Later, his dad clips Owen's fingernails. Owen takes a bath and washes his hair. He washes his face in the morning and brushes his teeth. He puts on clean clothes. He sneezes into a tissue. Every six weeks, he gets a hair cut. In summer, after playing outside barefoot, Owen washes his feet. Two simple sentences of text appear per two-page spread. A framed note gives further information such as: "Part of keeping clean is wearing clean clothes. Dirty clothes can make your body dirty, too." The bright ink-and-watercolor illustrations show an African-American family. A little brown dog accompanies Owen throughout the text. This is part of the "How to Be Healthy!" series. A list of other books, a web site address, and a short index are included."
