Helping my daughter learn about healthy foods!

I used to read this one as a child and I felt that it helped me learn about proper nutrition. I just got to read it to my daughter tonight and she has been asking questions about what is good for her to eat or not!

My daughter is unable to eat several different food items. I was able to get recipes from this book I can either adjust or make recipes just as they are to make more foods for her. Thanks for a great book.

My daughter and I read this book together, at the end she said to me "So she won cuz she ate all her vegetables and no cake". This toddler book came at the right time because we are always telling her to eat vegetables so she may grow stronger.  Great book!

I checked this book out of the library for my five-year old, and she loved it. She got really excited about this book and seemed to love how the pictures illustrated the text. There was this one particular set of pictures that referred to PROTEIN. The first picture showed a girl on the farm doing chores and talking about how protein helps you be stronger. In the background, there were the meat sources of protein: a cow, a lamb, a chicken, etc. On the next page, a couple of kids were next to a beanstalk, talking about other sources of protein--like beans. The pictures were very colorful and eye-pleasing and I loved how the author used word bubbles from the kids in the book to explain--in simple language and with everyday examples, what each nutritional component does for the body. She let the characters teach. In one part of the book, they put on costumes to show which vitamins do what! This book made it really easy for me to discuss the importance of eating right to my child, and--after six months--she still remembers things like, "eggs have protein in them and protein makes you strong!" [her words] There are simple recipes in the back, which we didn't test, but I look forward to trying them out once we get the book again. The only things about this book I didn't like was the lack of scientific activities, but I'm looking into other titles to supplement (like, Janice VanCleave), and a lack of "discussion starters". Otherwise, I think this book is a wonderful way to start your own discussions on healthy eating. One of the great things about smaller children is their need for repetition, so I'll get the chance to come up with a new discussion every time we read this book.

My family loves this cookbook!  We've been eating Paleo since January 2012, but struggled to find ways to get our 3 1/2 year old daughter to eat more veggies, eggs and other good for her things.  So, we bought this for her and told her it was her very own cookbook and we'd fix whatever she wanted out of it.  The first night we had it, we fixed the 50/50 bacon burgers with some spinach thrown in for good measure and she ate it all!  The second night, it was the egg quiche with kale and olives.  Hubby and I were skeptical she'd actually eat it once it was in front of her, but she ate her whole piece, asked for more and ate the leftovers the next night for dinner.  Absolutely amazing!  The whole family has benefited from eating Paleo but having this as her own cookbook has really helped my daughter be more excited about the healthy food she's eating.  She tells us every day she's getting stronger and healthier because we're fixing her "dinosaur food"!

I got Crunch a Color to try to get my picky eater interested in other kinds of food, and it turned out to be a wonderful way to do it! She loves cards and puzzles, so she engaged immediately and started to branch out in her choices without the regular fuss! And it gave me more ideas of things to try! It is a great way to educate on more healthy eating, and because the info does not come from Mom, but from a game, all the better!!

This book is the perfect kitchen companion for kids! The Yummy Foods Activity Book is a wonderful tool for parents to initiate the conversation regarding nutrition literacy with their children. Too often we hear about the challenges parents face getting their kids to eat more vegetables and fruit. This book acts as an aid in encouraging kids ages 5-10 to become interested in eating truly healthy food. Grab a copy of this wonderful activity book and make cooking and eating whole plant-based nutrition a fun experience for the little ones in your life!

My preteen daughter took the book to her brother's soccer game and picked out several recipes she wanted to try.  We tried some and they were fabulous!  Love this book...and it is getting my kids to want to try the recipes! (all healthy eating!)

I got this book for my daughter for her birthday and she loves it. She really likes the suggestions the book gives her for different food combinations.

I'm big on eating healthy foods as close to "whole" as possible. This book helped my three year old enjoy the same foods, just with a different presentation. For example, lately my boys (ages 3 yrs and 1 yr)had given up on eating bread (what in the world?) Then we made the banana strawberry cream cheese spread for toast and they downed it in no time. We pulled out cookie cutters (per cookie monster's advice) and made star shaped pb sandwiches. This book even included "from scratch" chicken and fish nuggets. I don't buy the packaged kind because they tend to be too processed, but the recipes in this book fit the bill.

Thank you for a better undestanding! It seems so new and hard to explain to family and loved ones. It is actually my daughter and not me that has issues with food. I just want her to be ok in her lifel I want her to feel better! I bought this book for her at Christmas and I hope it helps her.

My kids enjoyed this book and it helped them understand why we choose to eat the way that we do. While we don't usually call the way we eat "Paleo" we do focus on meats, lots of veggies and fruits, and healthy fats, so the message was similar. They asked me if a "Paleo" diet was a "Healthy" diet and it gave me a chance to explain healthy eating choices in a way that they understood at their age. While I've always been very open with them about what foods are healthy and which ones aren't, they seemed even more enthusiastic about healthy eating now that the message had come from superheros. They've been careful to ask me if foods are healthy or not, and have enjoyed helping prepare foods. There are some great kid-friendly recipes in the back of the book, along with instructions for how to include the kids in food prep. If you have switched to a healthier, Paleo type way of eating and your kids are struggling with it, this book will help them understand why food choices are important.

Even You Can Be Healthy is loaded with great information from "stocking your kitchen, to "tools" and "menu's".  The recipes are easy to understand,and preparation time is quick.  This is a great book to teach kids about healthy nutrition and help build healthy habits.  Well done Ann!

We purchased this because our daughter wasn't eating enough at dinner. She now gets healthy portions of each food group on this plate and enjoys learning about the groups.
