Customer Reviews

ADHD child
I have an ADHD nephew who won't eat anything but pizza (no sauce), chicken nuggets (no strips), sugary cereal, (no milk) and any thing with sugar or icing. This book has given us ideas to correct his diet.

Big Disappointment
I was hoping for much more useful info on this one. I did like the checklist that allowed you to "interview" your child about what they like, don't like and are willing to try. Other than that there was not an original thought or edible recipe inside. It just takes up space on my bookshelf!

Good suggestions
This book has a wide range of useful information. I was looking for creative ideas to make taking lunch more fun, and this book was full of them. I also liked that it didn't rely on foods some kids are allergic or intolerant to.
