I have mixed feelings about this book. It's kind of cute and a good tool to encourage talking about eating healthy but I don't think either Anna or I particularly enjoyed the book much. I found some of the rhymes really irritating and contrived so I may have reflected my dislike for it in my reading and that may have influenced Anna. When I discovered that there were extra resources to go with the book I thought maybe it might be redeemable in some way but I was disappointed to see that the resources were not free, and even that the prices were a little steep in my mind. Great idea for a book and kind of fun but not one that we'll likely read again.
HI Jacqueline, thank you for reviewing my book. I am interested in knowing where you got a copy. The book was designed as a take home gift once they finished The ABC's Picnic with me. Perhaps if I had the support of other publishers when I was trying to create more awareness about food security for Newfoundland and Labrador and healthy eating for everyone, then the whole program would be available at a affordable price for teachers. The book was written for children not adults, perhaps its why you find some of the rhyming irritating.
