Review

The topics are explored enough to allow understanding and comprehension, and the case studies and examples connect the concepts presented. It is essential that the correlation be made between theory and application of concepts, and this text does an admirable job.

“An outstanding text with first-rate current researched information. Updated and new topics such as Childhood Depression, Resilient Children, and Poverty and Homelessness are just a few examples that make this text exceptional!

The amount of information included in the text is impressive. I find that the changes, updates, and additions strengthen the text, which is already of high quality.

This text’s greatest strength lies in the breadth of the content covered.

The revisions suggested by the authors really strengthen the content, research base and overall appeal of the text. Each chapter contains significant revisions to update and upgrade the text. I felt there was a stronger and very current research base and the information added will be useful to parents and teachers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy a healthy meal while doing it safely and nutritionaly!, September 30, 2003

By	Amy (USA) - See all my reviews

This is a pager turner from beginning to end. It took me about three and a half hours to read from chapter 1 on. I have a 2 year old daughter and it was a blessing in disguse to find a book that would actually get me to realize what I needed to do to assist myself and daughter to do to get a healthier lifestyle while still enjoying the "no-no's" on occasion. A must read for all those parents that would enjoy even cooking better foods for their family and have time to spare for a sit down meal.

This review is from: Health, Safety, & Nutrition for the Young Child (Paperback)

My review is based on the 3rd edition of this book. This book was required reading in my early childhood education program. It is a great introduction to what is safe, healty, and nutritious for children. A simple straight forward approach to information about children that every parent and/or caregiver should know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for ideas and does the job, June 14, 2008

By	Julie D Wienecke "Julie Wienecke" (Clermont, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Health, Safety, and Nutrition for the Young Child, 7th Edition (Paperback)

This textbook was required for completing prerequisites to obtain my Early childhood degree. But it was one helluva good book. The chapters were short so it was never overwhelming to read. At the end of each chapter were lesson plans and therein lies the gold at the end of this rainbow. This book is a treasure trove of easy lessons to implement in a preschool early childhood classroom. This is not just a fabulous textbook it is an amazing classroom and center resource.
