This review is from: How to Teach Nutrition to Kids: An Integrated, Creative Approach to Nutrition Education for Children Ages 6-10 (Paperback)

Wow! How to Teach Nutrition to Kids - An integrated, creative approach to Nutrition Education for children ages 6-10 - is a wonderful tool for all educators who work with children. The book and accompanying Leader Guide follow three guidelines - keep it fun, integrate nutrition with other subjects, and emphasize behavior change. The book is divided into sections that make it very easy for teachers to implement nutrition with other subjects. Yet the numerous activities will have children improving their eating habits from day one! Ms. Evers has clearly written this for today's children and the many pitfalls they have in their diet and lifestyle. (...) - The Science Spiders Newsletter

4.0 out of 5 stars Who said learning about nutrition has to be boring?, July 1, 1998

This book is loaded with fun activities for children such as watching Saturday morning commercials in between cartoons for an hour. This lesson makes them aware of the need to read nutrition labels and not rely on how appetizing it looks.
