Picture Book Review

"My Food Pyramid," by Alisha Niehaus. Illustrations by Dave Williams.
It's important to teach children to make the right eating choices. This book not only gives the USDA food pyramid, but it tells children how many serving they should have of the six food groups. Grains. Vegetables. Fruits. Milk. Meat and Beans. Oils. It gives little interesting facts like, though beans are a vegetable they have lots of protein, therefore they count as a meat. It's not an exciting book, but do remember since it's a book about grains and vegetables you should cut it some slack. It does its main job well. To inform kids on what to eat and how much.
