book reviews

Learning about food groups is part of the Kindergarten curriculum - and let's face it, a lot of little people's (and parents') lives revolve around getting them to eat healthy food! So why not start as early as possible, and make it fun with some great books to introduce babies and toddlers to food pictures, vocabulary and healthy choices? Many of these books also bring animals into the mix for some fun!

Teaching your child about manners usually starts at the preschool age - when little ones can start remembering the 'magic words' when they ask for something. Please, Mr. Panda is an endearing way to drive this point home with your preschooler!
