Review
Part poetry, part information, this book will be a welcome addition to nutrition sections in most libraries. The five food groups are all discussed, with several pages on each, each page of information introduced by a haiku poem. Colorful illustrations of multicultural children, cute animals, and bright food items draw the reader's attention. Facts are presented in a way children will be able to understand. Overall, a great package to talk about diet and nutrition with children.
Overall Book Score: very good
