About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 2-5-Created with help from a consultant who is a pediatrician and professor at Harvard Medical School, this series provides a thorough overview of different food groups: where they come from and what role they play in our overall health. Suggested research projects are strong and engaging. Students can do research to find out the closest place where beans, nuts, and seeds are grown. The illustrations give the text-heavy pages a stale, textbook feel. However, the charts are phenomenal; one shows how many ounces of protein people need at different ages, while another lists the iron, carbohydrates, sugar, potassium, and other nutrients found in 20 different fruits. Despite the design, this is a very smart, readable series.α(c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
