1: Good intro to nutrition for young kids
This book was published nearly 10 years ago, so yes, the food pyramid is outdated, but that aside, it contains the basic info needed to introduce children to the entire concept of how food is fuel for our bodies. The age group, 4-8, is pretty accurate, and as long as you modify the number of servings while reading this with youngsters, there is really nothing taken away from its content. With beautifully illustrated, bright and colorful pictures of all kinds of foods, the pages will turn quickly for your kids. My 4 year old liked telling her own story about the family eating around the table, while my older child enjoyed seeing how the "inside" of the body works to digest food. Adults might just learn a thing or two as well! This is most definitely recommended.

2: Just What We Needed
Our 9 year old grandson had been putting on some weight and I had ordered Good Enough to Eat:A Kid's Guide to Food and Nutrition by Lizzy Rockwell to help us deal with this problem that is confronting so many American children today.
Our grandson read it out loud with interest. We (his Dad and grandparents) all sat around together to listen, appreciate and comment. He took the book home with him and has continued to read and learn about nutrition, and healthy eating habits.
He and his Dad talk about the book together as they inaugurate a new way of meal planning and snacking that will help take off pounds and teach our grandson how to make "informed" choices while still enjoying that delicious experience we all share, eating!
We highly recommend this informative book with its delightful illustrations. It is a great motivator, along with the support of parents and family. It gives a child as sense of being "in charge" rather than being the "victim" of calories. It can be a real help to parents who want to educate their children about the value and pleasure of eating well and wisely.

3: Not helpful for a ten year old!
I didn't find this book helpful, and here's why: My 10 year old daughter tends to over eat and crave unhealthy foods, so I'm working on educating her on nutrition and keeping her active. I thought this book looked like a good resources, but the problem is that it looks like a young child's book, even though it contains good information in the second half, appropriate to an older child. So, my 10 year old took one look at it, declared it a 'baby's book' (because the cover and art and first pages look like it's designed for a very young child), and I couldn't get her further in it, because she prides herself on now being able to read 'big kid' (chapter type) books. The packaging/art approach just don't match the level of the content!

4: Learn food in color
Very easy to read. Lot of color. Food pyramid is out of date but the book is still very well done for kids.

5: recommended
This is very easy to understand for kids and helpful if you want them to understand why you want them to eat certain foods, it explains food groups, carbs, protein, etc on a level they can understand. I got very into nutrition and wanted a way for my 6 year old to understand it too.
