hainyh 's review for:
This is an absolutely brilliant book, no doubt about it. Aimed at encouraging children to try new vegetables and learn to love them, it's based on author Melanie's three-step programme of exposure, which starts with exposing your child to veggies by using sensory, hands-on, and educational activities. The activities and recipes she has included here mean that children are introduced to textures, tastes, temperatures, and various other aspects of new foods. Split into sections and covering 20 vegetables, there are various recipes and activities for each, including a sweet treat - showing children that vegetables aren't just a chore but they can also be fun and a treat!
The book starts off with a very thorough and informative introduction on parenting strategies for exposing children to new food, explaining some of the science behind introducing new foods and incorporating them into a diet, and how to address exposure to food when you are outside the family home.
My favourite element of this book is that you can go to the contents and pick a vegetable, and from there you'll find a selection of activities or recipes. That way you can tackle one new food item at a time.
The ideas are all great with plenty of clear photographs as well as follow-up information at the end of the chapter as to what your child will benefit from the chosen activity. All in all, this is a brilliant book for parents of young ones. 5-star!
