Editorial Reviews

11/01/2014
PreS-Gr 2—Health issues and allergies that require special diets are explained in eloquent, accessible language. The author presents various health conditions as serious yet manageable and ends each title with a delicious-looking "Safe Recipe" a child and adult can make together. Common Core questions invite further research. Excellent design and bold color images of appealingly photographed foods make this series inviting. Diverse children in relaxed poses (some with gap-toothed smiles) add further charm. Readers will learn about dietary restrictions as well as safety protocols for handling allergy-related emergencies. Additionally, students will come away informed about creative ways people can handle food restrictions; for instance, gluten-free guests can have ice cream at a birthday party without the cake. Readers will likely gain empathy toward those with allergies or a better understanding of their own dietary restriction.
