"This series aims to inform children about nutritional issues and encourage healthy and diverse food selections. Various topics are covered, including the five food groups, veganism, and food safety.

A 'Try This' section at the end of each book provides different ways students can get invested in their nutritional health by offering tips like checking expiration dates and keeping a food journal, along with mini-recipe ideas. 'Fun Facts' provide additional tidbits on vitamins. VERDICT: A simple yet engaging look at food and nutrition for elementary-age readers."―School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
