Books for Preschoolers - Eat Healthy, Feel Great
by William Sears, M.D., Martha Sears, R.N., and Christie Watts Kelly
“You can train your tastebuds to like a new green-light food by taking a few nibbles each time it is served. The more often you eat it, the yummier it will taste to you and the better you will feel.”
About the Book
Want to teach your preschooler to eat healthy foods? This is a wonderful picture book for teaching health and nutrition to preschoolers that parents and children will both benefit from reading. It will teach your preschooler that he needs good foods “that make you grow stronger, help you think better, and give you more energy to play.”Foods are categorized into three categories like a stop light. Green light foods mean you can eat as much as you want because they’re healthy. They include chicken, beans, cheese, fish, eggs, peanut butter, whole grains, water and fruits and vegetables. Yellow light foods mean that you shouldn’t eat too many because while they may not be harmful, they’ll fill you up and not leave room for the good foods. Red light foods are those you should avoid, and include hydrogenated oils, food dye, preservatives, white flour and sugar.
From the Reviewer - Molly Christensen
This book clearly explains to your preschooler why she should eat healthy foods. It discusses which specific foods have fiber, vitamins and minerals and so on. Not much attention is given to the foods you shouldn’t eat, instead it concentrates on all the delicious foods you can eat. There are also parent tips at the beginning of the book and in text boxes on a few of the pages to help you help your preschooler eat more healthy foods. The pictures are bright and fun and the cartoon foods will really appeal to your preschooler.
