![]() | Raising Vegetarian Children : A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony by Joanne Stepaniak
Buy new: $12.89 / Used from: $6.89 My top recommendation on veggie kids and nutrition. Although the title includes "vegetarian," the book has a strong vegan slant (e.g. all recipes are vegan), it's currently the best book for raising ovo-lacto kids as well.

![]() | Raising Vegan Children in a Non-Vegan World: A Complete Guide for Parents by Erin Pavlina
Buy used from: $74.98 A good choice for navigating social situations for strictly vegan kids - it may not jive with parents of relaxed vegans.
|
![]() | New Vegetarian Baby by Sharon K. Yntema
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $1.75 A decent reference book for feeding the youngest of vegetarians, the recommendation on when to introduce solids to breastfed babies is out-of-date (and reckless).
|
![]() | Feeding the Healthy Vegetarian Family by Ken Haedrich
Buy new: $16.24 / Used from: $8.93 I heartily recommend this to ovo-lacto vegetarian families. I've rarely enjoyed reading recipes so much - many have stories alongside. Unfortunately, egg- and dairy-free options are rarely given.
|
![]() | Feeding the Whole Family: Whole Foods Recipes for Babies, Young Children and Their Parents by Annemarie Colbin
Buy used from: $4.71 A great family favorite of ours! There are 4 meat/fish recipes, the dozens of other recipes are almost all vegan. Each recipe suggests an adaptation for babies 6+ or 10+ months.
|
![]() | The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook: Whole Foods To Nourish Pregnant And Breastfeeding Women - And Their Families by Cathe Olson
Buy new: $14.93 / Used from: $14.99 A wonderful cookbook - I wouldn't be without it. Clock icons indicate quick meals and snowflake icons point the way to meals that freeze well. (Mostly vegan.)
|
![]() | Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron
Buy new: $13.57 / Used from: $2.95 This ovo-lacto book is useful for the how-to-prepare/freeze and nutritional appendices, but it's a disorganized mess, and her approach is too type-A obsessive for my taste.

|
![]() | La Dolce Vegan!: Vegan Livin' Made Easy by Sarah Kramer
Buy new: $18.68 / Used from: $6.45 Not just for too-hip Gen-X vegans. The recipes range from casual to sophisticated (but are always easy to execute) - the dressing section even turned my preschooler into a salad fan!
|
![]() | Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $8.49 Can preschoolers be post-punk, too? My daughter thinks Isa's recipes are fabulous (especially those delicious, fool-proof muffins).
|

|
![]() | Salad People and More Real Recipes: A New Cookbook for Preschoolers and Up by Mollie Katzen
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $7.79 Wow, a vegetarian cookbook for preschoolers! The intro page is for the grown-up to read and instructions are given for preliminary work (cutting, etc.). Turn the page and see a double-page spread for the kid's portion - comic book-style with large and simple illustrations. Some recipes are ovo-lacto, but substitutions can be made.
|
![]() | Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes: A Cookbook for Preschoolers and Up by Mollie Katzen
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $0.99 This is an amazing parent-and-me cookbook, although even heavier on the butter and cheese than <i>Salad People</i>, so I'd recommend Katzen's kid cookbooks to parents of omnivores, ovo-lacto vegetarians, and vegans (if the parent is comfortable substituting).
|
![]() | Honest Pretzels: And 64 Other Amazing Recipes for Kids by Mollie Katzen
Buy used from: $3.23 Along the same lines as the other Katzen kids' cookbooks, this one's for older kids (ages 8+).
