Awesome book - best nutritional book for children

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a nutritional book for children. In my opinion, it is the best book on the subject. We searched for just the right book and this is it. I loved that it was so thorough, covering everything from great general nutritional advice to chapters for picky children, underweight children and overweight children, exercise and more. I am thankful it does not recommend diets for children but instead takes the approach of making good, heathy food choices. I loved the recipes and have tried many. My kids love the banana muffins in particular. I love the sample week long menu plan. My only disappointment with this book is that her some of her recipes, such as the banana muffin one, do not call for whole wheat flour. We have adpated those to using all whole wheat flour or at least half. This is a great resource that you will refer to over and over again and well worth the money.
