(NIDA 2013) Our first book in the series is Amanda's Uncle Bob, Eats, Drinks And Walks ....TOO much! The book's main character and host, Amanda Cope, takes your child on a journey with her mommy to her Uncle Bob's house. After a long train ride they arrive at Uncle Bob's home only to find he isn't there because he ate too much. The story then continues through several other scenarios with Uncle Bob overdoing everything in his life - even walking too much. Yes, doing too much of a good thing is out of balance. Our host Amanda Cope engages your child at various points in the book to engage your child in a conversation and help develop critical thinking around the book's theme over doing things! Addiction effects one out of five people, addiction is like eye color if one parent has blue eyes the child has a 50% chance of having the disease.We believe delaying these conversations and life coping skills to the fifth grade is too late. Jim Rauth is a AODA counselor and says, You would be surprised how often I hear clients tell me they started using drugs at age 8, frightening isn't it? The book is geared for children 5 to 9 years old or as soon as you feel your child is ready to grasp these life saving concepts.
