Leslie Meets Obi the Fat Cell was a really cute and bright book, with an overall positive message, but there is some harmful and outdated info. I appreciated the inclusion of childhood obesity statistics at the end based on race, but the BMI is an outdated measurement based on white European men. It is not an accurate measure of health. I appreciated the inclusion of exercise and eating vegetables, as well as facts about cholesterol. I think this book could be just as effective without using weight or the depiction of the scale; it could lead children to feel shame about their weight (without taking into account being in larger bodies, ethnicity, or musculature), which can lead to disordered eating.
