Items related to The Edible Pyramid: Good Eating Everyday
Synopsis
The head waiter—a French cat in tails—the Edible Pyramid restaurant, explains the dishes to his customers, a menagerie of other animals in equally formal attire. Each segment of the pyramid is presented in a two-page spread, defining the food group mentioned and illustrating it with many mouth-watering examples. The recommended number of daily servings is also explained, and after going through the entire menu, the maitre’d helps his diners select a balanced meal. Paintings of the animals and food are done in muted colours. A small pyramid appears in the corner of each illustration, with the block being examined highlighted.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?An entertaining, attractive introduction to the food pyramid, still a fairly new concept in nutrition education. The menu at the Edible Pyramid restaurant is based on the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's food guide. The head waiter?a French cat in tails?explains the dishes to his customers, a menagerie of other animals in equally formal attire. Each segment of the pyramid is presented in a two-page spread, defining the food group mentioned and illustrating it with many mouth-watering examples. The recommended number of daily servings is also explained, and after going through the entire menu, the maitre'd helps his diners select a balanced meal. Paintings of the animals and food are done in muted colors. A small pyramid appears in the corner of each illustration, with the block being examined highlighted. Leedy's text is brief and to the point, but witty, especially the animals' commentary. Other helpful books on nutrition for this age group include Dorothy Hinshaw Patent's Nutrition (Holiday, 1992) and Dorothy Baldwin's Health and Food (Rourke, 1987), but neither emphasizes the food pyramid.?Joyce Adams Burner, formerly at Spring Hill Middle School, KS
