Review

"What's so Yummy?" is a first nutrition book for kids. It talks about why we eat and drink and what kinds of foods and beverages are healthiest for us. The vehicle for the information is a family going to the farmers' market and then on a picnic. The two kids share additional information such as what they had for breakfast or commentary on specific foods as word bubbles. Some of the foods at the garden are labeled, but the foods at the market are not, so there are some learning points there that are missing. The illustrations do a great job making the fruits and veggies look fresh and inviting. Some of the more casual text is stilted, but overall this book very clearly shares the basics about eating well and why that's necessary.

Overall Book Score: good
