HeaLThy Snacks With My Pyramid Hb

Text and photographs present healthy snacks, examples of healthy snacks, and ways to enjoy healthy snacks. Editorial Reviews From Booklist PreS-Gr. 2. Like other titles in the Healthy Eating with MyPyramid series, this book encourages young children to make positive food choices. Full-page, full-color photographs show children of many ages and ethnicities enjoying healthy snacks. The minimal text, which could easily be tackled by somewhat older elementary students still working on basic reading skills, explains that snacks help fuel the body. All nutritional information in this series reflects the USDA's new MyPyramid teaching tool, which is prominently displayed throughout the book. Appended are more snack ideas, a glossary, a bibliography, and a note about the Internet search site -FactHound, which will "fetch" additional sites on this topic. These high-quality illustrations and basic words offer an alternative to commercials, magazines, and movies, that show the hyperconsumption of junk food.
