Just Plain Cute (and educational)

This is a great book, and the author is a great presenter. I was able to see her presentation at an elementary school and she does a great job teaching the children about nutrition. I thought it was very impressive that she has been a diabetic for many years, but does not rely on medication, she just eats healthy. Well it was motivational to me anyway, hopefully the children learned something too.

How great to see excellent teaching in form children love

As a grandmother, I am delighted to see this kind of marvelous nutrition information in a form children will love. Hopefully their parents will accidentally learn also. I see many, many children today who know nothing about what they should eat and why (and don't) but, what is worse, I see too many parents not paying attention to the need for these foods for healthy children. What a travesty!It is my understanding that health organizations over the country have discovered them and are putting them where mothers come for WIC assistance. Perhaps that will break a pattern of ignorance that will eventually bring benefits to our wonderful country as a whole. Nutrition is vital but unless we know about it we will be the losers.The excellent artwork, the detail and then the high quality, high gloss paper all come together for the perfect gift for grandparents. I have 11 grandchildren and 4 (going on 5 great grandchildren) and intend to use it to say things I hesitate to say in person.
