Review

This book will help children understand the five food groups and the importance of eating a healthy diet. Colorful photographs draw the reader's attention. Word bubbles give facts about the pictures. Foods that are not as good for us, such as fats and sugars, are discussed in a chapter titled "Sometimes Foods." A few Fun Facts, a glossary, and a list of books and web sites for further reading are included. The information presented is fairly simple, but the format is engaging, making this a good starting place when looking at nutrition and healthy eating.

Overall Book Score: good
