Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This is a great book for explaining food allergies to all children. My children do not have food allergies but this book did a wonderful job of explaining how serious they can be! My three-year-old was able to grasp the concept that some foods can make other children sick and should not be shared. And my seven-year-old was surprised to learn all the foods which "hide" peanuts. In addition to being educational, this is an enjoyable and humorous book that my youngest child chooses at bedtime again and again.
