5.0 out of 5 stars We love Angeline!, February 18, 2009

I was planning to save this for my son's Easter basket, but gave up on waiting and I'm glad I did. He absolutely loves it! We have (literally) hundreds of books in the house, but he's picked this one at bedtime every night this week. The thing is, my kid is a pretty picky eater, so I think he can *totally* relate to Angeline, and he goes into fits of giggles every she says "Blah!" when her mom tries to get her to eat healthy stuff. We love the illustrations -- my son's favorite is the fun picture of jellybeans doing jumping jacks in Angeline's tummy. Will it make my picky eater love salad? Not a chance, but I appreciate the opportunity to gently reinforce my efforts to get him interested in healthier choices. At the conclusion, he's taken to renaming her "Angeline Saladean!" which cracks us both up. Thank you, Crystalee and Stephen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming!, December 31, 2008

By	Rena J. Jones (Montana) - See all my reviews

A wonderful picture book written by Crystalee Calderwood, illustrated by Stephen Macquignon and published by 4RV Publishing. A delightful story about a little girl who loves jellybeans. Angeline loves jellybeans so much that she wants to eat them all the time. When people try to convince her to try new foods, she replies, "Blah!" My boys laughed every time Angeline said that. For her birthday, Angeline gets a big bag of jellybeans and eats them until she feels sick. Boy, can I relate to that! This is a cute book for younger children that will hopefully encourage them to try new foods without being preachy. The story is full of charming rhymes, color references and vivid illustrations of favorite holidays and special events that kids love so much.

What happens when too much of a good thing becomes too much? Angeline Jellybean is a girl who only likes to eat jellybeans. She wants them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Everyone knows that you can only eat so much of a good thing before it makes you sick in some way or other.

Once Angeline discovers that there are other things to eat besides jellybeans, everything turns out okay for her.

This delightful children's book is written in rhyme and is beautifully illustrated. It shows how too much of a good thing can really not be so good for a person.
