Synopsis

Good food is nutritious—but best of all, it's delicious!
 
Full of colorful photographs of kids growing, preparing, and eating healthy, wholesome meals, Yummy! inspires young readers to make healthy choices.  Nutritious meals full of fresh produce, protein, dairy and grains are pictured, along with kids helping in the kitchen—and having a good time eating what they've made, too!
 
Healthy food choices set kids on the right track to succeed, giving them the energy to get out and play.  Aligned with USDA's MyPlate standard for nutrition, Yummy! also offers tips for parents on preparing healthy meals, substituting in nutritious ingredients for high-sugar treats, and getting kids involved in their food choices.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 1-This well-laid-out book is filled with superb color photos of children eating nourishing foods with enjoyment and helping to prepare them. The youngsters are shown in various indoor and outdoor settings, sometimes displaying brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Throughout, text boxes with nutrition tips are clearly meant for adults. The end page includes a handful of additional recommendations (e.g., "Serve children small portions") and a ChooseMyPlate.gov diagram that offer good information, but, again, aimed at adults. The spare text repeats "Good food makes me strong!" and uses sentences like "I make shakes," "I stir the oatmeal," "We grew the vegetables for the salad," etc., but lacks a story line or enough content to make this a valuable resource.-Nancy Jo Lambert, Ruth Borchardt Elementary, Plano, TXα(c) Copyright 2013.
