This book may be framed for parents, but honestly, this mama doesn't eat too healthy, either! It was a great wake-up call, and full of excellent ideas for new foods to try together as a family. This is going on my Amazon wish list.

This book is a must for every parent. There is a lot of information, and a couple of recipes that I cannot wait to try. There are even ways to encourage kids to try new foods, and rules to eat healthy food. It ends with Top 10 lists that are practical. Many thanks to Quarto Publishing for the early copy of the book.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Fair Winds Press for my unbiased opinion of the book. I loved this book! It is bright and colorful! I loved the recipe suggestions, helpful hints, and the all-around layout of the book. I have several young and new parents I can give this book for Christmas. I think every parent should get this book. The knowledge and reference aspect of it is invaluable!

This book would be a great resource for my middle school culinary classes. Gives great nutrition and health benefit information about a large variety of foods from each food group. Several simple recipes are included. Bright photos and nice page layouts.

Excellent resource for parents and caregivers. The "Try It Up" tips and "Good to Know" tidbits set this apart from other titles in this genre.

This is a very interesting book for parents with children or even for adults who don't get the adequate amount of fruits and vegetables daily. It gives details on how to give it and different ways to serve it. I never thought dried fruit would suffice but does and there are also a few recipes and tips to help you through. I am surely going to follow this one up so that myself and my family can get the right amount of nutrition and leave all the unhealthy sugary stuff alone.

Thank you for the advice for understanding my child is not as a picky eater as I thought! The author gives great advice starting with defining a selective 'picky' eater in a child along with how much ideal servings of fruits and veggies a child should consume daily. ALSO I liked how the author gave great tips and not sounding like preaching about not giving your child enough healthy foods. Explaining to parents that you should not stress about their daily intake but overall dietary intake.

This book has a few recipes, but more details and suggestions for all the different food groups and how best to prepare for a child. I found this book very informative as having three young children and sometimes feeling at a loss and hopeless at the minimal healthy foods that they eat on a daily basis. The author gave easy suggestions along with parent tips on how to incorporate better foods for your child.

Foods that most consider healthy and some of those not considered are contained within this cookbook. Some recipes are provided.

​I enjoyed learning that some foods not considered as healthy choices are contained here. I enjoyed reading the recipes and am looking forward to trying them with my picky eater grandson. I would have like to see recipes for most, if not all, of the foods. I was disappointed that it didn’t contain more.

​I especially liked the list of 10 bests in the back. They included road trips, bedtime and those that aren’t as healthy as they seem. My favorites were those to ease constipation, for extra iron and for post-game fueling.

​This is a good informational book. It would be a great cookbook with some additional recipes. It would go from just informational to something that could be utilized on a frequent basis.



I received an eBook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is incredibly easy to navigate and read. Bright pictures of fruits and vegetables you can give your child with a detailed explanation of their nutritional value and a recipe to try. Definitely going to try a few with my picky son.
Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC!

I was disappointed with this book. I wish there had been way more recipes. There just isn't enough there to make it worth recommending.

This book was interesting for the nutritional information. It listed the foods, what nutrients they have and what those nutrients are good for. It also gave tips on how to prepare, store and cook each food. It is very good in detailed in this sense. I think it would be a useful book for broadening your horizons if you usually eat the same foods frequently.

I did get a couple recipie ideas that I think my kids are really going to like but there really weren't many, I would have loved a few more instead of just a couple random ones. We also don't eat much meat here so although it is not a vegetarian book it did talk about lots of alternative protein choices which I liked.

I also found the tips for getting kids to eat these foods were sparse and kind of generic; not much I haven't read before.

I would recommend this book if you are trying to discover new types of foods or trying to get more or less of certain nutrients in your diet but not for trying to find new recipies to try. I also liked that the foods were in alphabetical order which is very practical if you need to look something up fast.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher through netgalley.

The book’s table of contests list vegetables that adults have a hard time with, like beets, kale, celery, brussels sprouts, onions and kohlrabi.
The author offers 10 Healthy Rules for feeding kids that include serving one fruit or vegetable your child likes at a meal, serve water and milk, and rarely soda, only cook one meal, and do not use desert as a reward or a punishment.
The author tells you how to prepare beets into beet chips or a beet and berry smoothie.you will also learn how to make cheesy brussels sprouts chips, sweet carrot salad and cauliflower nuggets.
The recipes are simple, easy to prepare and healthy, a child could even help to prepare them!
Take a risk and help your child develop healthy eating habits for life!

I think this will be a great source for overwhelmed parents looking for new ideas on healthy food options for their kids. While it is not an in-depth guide, it is practical and its format is easy to follow, with a list of healthy foods that have brief descriptions about why they are healthy options and a few recipes and tips interspersed, along with a set of convenient Top Ten Lists at the end.

Divided into four main sections: Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, and Protein-Rich Foods, with an addition section on Spices and Seasonings, I found this to be a great book for ensuring young children have access to healthy and tasty recipes. The book is lavishly illustrated with full color photographs of enticing food. The only thing missing was it not being printed on edible paper - but then the recipe would be gone, so perhaps thats not a bad thing!

The author is a dietician and it shows in how she writes. Each section listed above is divided into a smaller section on a particular fruit or veggie or whatever. She fearlessly lists foods a lot of kids would never dream of eating, because they've never been shown how dreamy such a food can be when introduced early and presented right. Each page not only has information about the nutritional value of the food and the best way to prepare it, but also hints, tips and suggestions on how to overcome that veggie shyness. My only disappointment here was that rutabagas (Swedes) were excluded, but they're so yummy that probably kids snarf them down without any issue, right?

Fruits are an easy sell - usually - but that doesn't mean there's nothing new to learn or even yummier ways to look at them (blueberry banana "ice cream" I'm looking at you!). Protein-rich foods included beef, but since it's alphabetical, it began with beans and is followed shortly afterwards by chickpeas. As a vegetarian I was thrilled by this!

The only overall issue I had was that this ebook advance review copy was clearly conceived as a print book, so the ebook pages were actually double-pages. I had to turn my iPad to landscape to see the whole thing, which meant it was rather small for reading, and it's definitely not something you can read do a quick reference to on a smart phone - not without eyestrain or a lot of fiddling to enlarge the image. I'd have much preferred it if each page had been a single page which would have permitted portrait reading and a larger image, but overall I really liked this book and I commend it as a worthy read.

This book is good for what it is, that being a collection of the best foods for kids. This is not a cookbook but instead describes the best proteins, fruits, veggies, grains, etc. for kids. Most health conscious people probably know most of these already so I assume this is for new parents who used to eat unhealthy or other people with less knowledge of healthy eating. There are a few recipes here and there but they are the exception. There is a good deal of useful information in the margins.

Most of the authors ideas seem to match my interpretation of modern nutrition.
That being said, she is pro grains and seems to justify that for their carb content.
I hope I am misinterpreting her point as there are plenty of non grain carbs (e.g. sweet potato,fruit).

An extremely informative read - perfect for parents with children or, indeed, anyone with an interest in nutrition, diet and health. I enjoyed reading it and gained a lot of information to help make healthier food choices for my family based on the content.

Thank you for the opportunity.

My daughter loved her children's cookbooks. To this day, she still makes the brownies that she learned to make from one such cookbook.

This book, however, is not a cook-book, so much as a nutrition guide, with suggested recipes thrown in. It sounds as though the author want both parents and children to read this book, but it appears more aimed at the parents, which "Good to know" sections and "Help my kid wants to be a vegetarian".

Beautiful photos, throughout, with short, easy recipes.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Some of the 101 healthiest foods for kids in this book came to me as a surprise, but I knew about most of them already. What was truly interesting was the daily amounts for fruit, vegetables, and grains.

There are tips on how best to store fresh fruit and vegetables, on how to encourage picky eaters to try new food.

I would recommend this book to parents, who tend to serve the same food every day and need an idea on what else is out there.

Great source of information about every fruit and veg that you can think of! With a fussy toddler this has given me some different ideas of ways to keep introducing into my child's diet

In a world of constantly changing food fads (kale today, cauliflower tomorrow), every mom aspires to fuel their little ones with the best foods possible. 101 Healthiest Foods for Kids is an easy-to-read guide that aids in making the best selections and even includes some fun recipes that are sure to tempt even the pickiest of toddlers. As a mother of two young boys, I enjoyed the part food encyclopedia/part cookbook approach to this book and I think this is a good read for all of the health conscious moms out there.
