Customer Reviews
Very helpful if a child has peanut/tree nut allergies
Ricky, the preschooler featured in this picture book, reminds me very much of my peanut-allergic grandson, Robbie. Robbie understood and enjoyed the story of Ricky, a little boy who must always ask if a food is safe for him. The photos of real people and real food complement the message of avoiding certain foods and of offering acceptable substitutes. This story is a basic book that young children and adults can discuss and enjoy again and again.
Perfect!
Great teaching tool for my 3 y.o. The photos and message are clear and easy to understand without being too scary.
An excellent resource for families of allergic preschoolers
Ms. Black's book, "Mommy, Is This Safe to Eat? A Guide for Preschoolers Allergic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts" is very appropriate for allergic preschoolers and their families, whether new to allergic living or quite familiar with these allergies (my preschool-aged allergic son connected with the book instantly). Among the book's attributes are photos of peanuts, tree nuts and baked goods, a healthy dialogue about "safe" and "unsafe" foods, a focus on the role of family in keeping an allergic child safe, and most importantly, photos of a real-life, happy boy managing allergic living. These factors together combine to create a tool greater than the sum of its parts.
