5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing - Motivates kids to eat healthy and be more active!, April 5, 1998

How many ways are there to get our children to read, eat healthy, and be more active? Answer - NONE, until I found Race Against Junk Food. The story is wonderful, action packed but non-violent, and it gently moves a child's belief system into a mode that encourages a healthy lifestyle. What could be better? Read it with your child and see if you don't become more active and eat more fruits and vegetables (and leave that couch & cheeseburger behind).

Excellent, The Race Against Junk Food is a wonderful way to teach kids, parents and grandparents (like me) about healthy eating habits. My 5 year old grand girl loves this book. It's colorful characters and great story keep her interested from start to finish. She even tells other people about the book, and wants all her friends and family to order a copy right away. I highly recommend this book and encourage everyone to read this colorful guide toward good nutrition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A parent and grandparent's opinion, August 22, 2003

A great book for teaching the benefits of good eating habits.
Illustrations are colorful and interesting - just what the little ones look for in a book. My grandson always looks for this book in my house.

This is, I believe a must for all parents of young children (together with the children) as it will remind them of the importance of eating the proper foods.

Grammar schools should also use this in their health classes.

More books like this PLEASE....... Maybe this is the way to a slimmer youth.
