Review
Few parents realise the true extent that their child's health can be damaged by such simple factors. As a surgeon it used to upset me to realise that just for the lack of this knowledge many attractive kids would grow up with plain faces and chronic health problems.
Patrick McKeown is doing his best to redress this in his colourful and tactful way and I would like to give him every encouragement. My orthodontic education was both strict and restrictive; extractions were considered inevitable and the possibilities of changing the growth of the face very limited. It was many years later that I discovered that much can be done by both treatment and especially persuasion to encourage children to create their own future. --Dr John Mew Orthodontist Dr John Mew orthodontist
Imaginatively illustrated with cartoon-style instructions --Irish Independent 11th April 2011
As a small child I was constantly berated if I did not `Stand up Straight' and `Keep My Mouth Shut' and at school the headmaster had a plywood cut out of a camel which was pointed at any child who sat with their back bent. Nowadays few children suffer this ignominy but the ratio of four year olds that spend the majority of the time with their mouths open, exceeds eighty percent.

It is the latest in a series of books by Patrick McKeown, not only documenting and explaining the devastating effects that mouth breathing and chronic hyperventilation can have on our lives, but providing clear instructions to correct these bad breathing habits and overcome the associated health problems, such as asthma and anxiety.
The author generously includes a section (previously published as a stand-alone book) for children old enough to learn Buteyko breathing exercises, and a useful chapter for infants with tips to help stop them from ever getting into the mouth breathing habit.
The innovative comic book approach in the first section is designed to get through to teenagers who may not care much about their health, but are likely to be very concerned about their appearance and sports performance!
There is a well-illustrated section (quite shocking) on how facial development and tooth alignment can be adversely affected by mouth breathing, with input from Dr Mew, an orthodontist who does not believe in extractions to correct overcrowded teeth.
An important book to help spread the word about good breathing and good looks, and a reasonably priced way to better health!
