LMC Review
Each of the titles in this informative series has the same goal—to introduce and promote a balanced diet for children. Grounded in the USDA’s MyPlate model, each book features a major food group. Bold, bright, colorful photos accompany explanations, making them easier to understand. Sidebars can be found in almost every chapter augmenting the dietary information presented. This series also includes extra features such as “text-dependent questions” which are designed to send the reader back to the text for more attention to facts presented, as well as a “words to understand” section prior to each chapter which is designed to increase the reader’s understanding. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.

• 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 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. • …this is a very smart, readable series. - School Library Journal (SMS Nov. 2014)Voya Review
• ""...the authors use simple narrative language that is engaging, concise, and easy to understand. The sidebars and illustrations supplement the text well and the research project suggestions are especially useful for students and teachers."" • ""This is recommended for middle school teachers and students."" -VOYA (Oct. 2014)
