The book is a terrific guide and reference source for nutrition and creating healthy eating habits. It spans a child's needs from birth to adolescence. The sections on Environmental Bad Guys and the Antioxidant Good Guys are very informative yet not overbearing with scientific terms. It is so important to create healthy lifestyle for children and this book does it by teaching you the parent the fundamentals.

I was given this book after my wife and I had our first son. We read this book from front to back and still use it as a reference. By using what we read, our son doesn't enjoy a lot of processed foods, but loves to eat fruits and even vegetables! This is quite a change from my sister-in-law's kids who love chicken nuggest and MacDonalds. Also, because we have changed the diet for our son, my wife and I have found ourselves eating better. If you have friends or family with children, or who are expecting, I highly recommend this book for them.

The only reason I couldn't rate this as a 5 is because I couldn't stand to READ it from front to back. But it is great to use as a resource. I got this book while pregnant with my 3rd child and flip thorugh it every month or 2 as a resource. I have a bad eater and a good eater so I am determined to get things right and it really is a great resource of what to feed your children at what ages. I will continue to use this and it is a great gift idea for any new mom!
