- Reading
- Look through the examples together and use the picture glossary to explore unfamiliar words. You could invite the child to explain how the book sorts foods, then discuss any questions it leaves open.
- Themes
- Food groups and relative healthfulness: The book introduces food groups and the idea that some foods are healthier than others, with examples from each type. This is presented as introductory information about food and nutrition, rather than as a story or personal dispute.
- Worth knowing
- The healthier-than distinction may invite discussion of how food is grouped and described. The book’s treatment of individual foods, dietary needs and nuance is not established.
