Editorial Review:
Our children are overfed and undernourished. Even if they are not living on pizza and ice cream, they may be eating foods that can have serious long-term effects on their health. An ever-growing body of research is revealing that the major diseases Americans suffer and die from are lifestyle related and to an extent preventable in that some of the root causes begin in childhood. Many cases of childhood imbalances, such as obesity, hyperactivity, dental problems, and learning disabilities can be aggravated by poor eating habits. Shelly Null has written a comprehensive guide to feeding children better, from the crib to young adulthood, without sacrificing flavor or fun.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good reference for vegetarian menu choices
As a dietitian who deals with childhood obesity, I like the way she addresses having a snack shelf for your child. She explains ingredients well and has a chart for legume and grain cooking that I have memorized. However, having been a vegetarian for 26 years, I find the baked goods overloaded with banana.
We use the granola recipe, but found Vegan Planet a better all-round recipe book.
Rating:  - Great Ideas and Menus
This was a well written book though I did not realize it focused on vegetarian dishes. Still - it's all good, just may be hard to find some of the ingredients.
Rating: - Needs to be more realistic
Overall, it is a pretty good book. What I found laughable was her comparison menus in the back of the book. For the unhealthy ones there was just soda, fruit drinks, and chocolate milk listed for the entire breakfast on some days. I may not be the healthiest person in the world, but I would never give that to my child as a meal and don't know anyone else who would either. It's one thing to point out the unhealthy foods that she does with other meals; it's another to consider her examples as mainstream. ... Read More
Rating:  - Healthy Cooking for Kids
I love this cookbook. This is one I go back to again and again. My four 1/2 year old grew up eating all the recipes in this book and now he loves helping me make them. I buy a copy for all my friends as a baby shower present.
Rating:  - Very unrealistic recipes for the average chef
The recipes in this book are very unrealistic for the average chef. The receipes are more suited for vegetarians that have more of the unusual spices in their kitchens that these receipes suggest/require. e.g. Main Course Hummas Plates (Does that sound tasty to a child ?)
