What’s so Yummy? By Robie Harris –ADVISABLE

Harris, Robie What’s so Yummy? All about eating well and feeling good 40 pgs. Candlewick, 2012. $15.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G Violence: G. NON-FICTION
As a family goes through the stages of getting ready for a picnic the reader learns all about eating healthy and keeping our bodies active. When the family is at the grocery store we learn about choosing healthy foods choices and when they get to the park we learn about fitness. There is also information about food allergies and about choosing fruit over sugary sweets.
This is actually an excellent book about eating healthy and exercise. I think it would be perfect for kindergarten and first grade. So many books about nutrition are really boring or too childish, but this one at least attempts to tell the information in the form of a story. The illustrations are fun and the pages are large.
