The Child-to-Child Primary Health Readers have been developed to teach and encourage primary school children in Africa to become concerned with the health and general development of their pre-school brothers and sisters.

Each book has been written by an experienced educationalist in conjunction with a panel of medical and language specialists. The books have been graded into three reading levels, and each deals with a different health topic of relevance to children in Africa.

The Readers can be used as an integral part of primary Science, Social Studies, Environmental Science, Home Economics or Health Science curriculum.

Down with Fever is a level 2 Reader which highlights the dangers of pneumonia. The book emphasises the importance of early treatment, and shows the important part older children can play in fighting the illness.
