Summary: Worth Every Penny
Review: A breezy-read, yet information-packed, Erin Pavilna's book makes it easy to be a vegan family. She provides the basics of being vegan and ideas about how to help the children transition to a vegan life-style. She explains what is healthy about veganism as well as how to stay healthy as a vegan family. Schools, doctors, social events, so many challenges. Pavlina brings ideas to help you through all the sticky situations. Finally, she brings great ideas on staying more planet-frienldy, and some great recipes that kids are going to gobble up. REVIEWER: Dr. Linda Palmer, author "Baby Matters, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby."

Summary: The Bible for Vegan Parents!
Review: A friend recommended this book to me and I have to say it is fabulous! This book covers so many topics that other books just don't cover. The author's writing style is so friendly, which made the book a quick read. I hate it when books are so full of tables, charts, graphs, facts, figures, and what-not that it reads like a scientific article and you can never even remember what you read. While reading this book I felt like the author really understood my concerns as a vegan mom (probably because she's a mom herself). I also visit the author's website/magazine frequently and I get a lot out of that too. In my opinion, this book is the bible for vegan parents!

Summary: best for new vegans only
Review: As a vefan for the past 10 years, this book was a disappointment. I give 3 stars because I am still happy someone wrote a book about vegan children. I am a vegan homeschool mom with 4 kids, this book is for kids in the public school system. My kids live in a vegan world! I would suggest Dr.Klaper's book "Pregnancy, Children and the Vegan Diet".

Summary: A must-read for anyone raising vegan children!
Review: It's about time someone wrote a book just for us vegan parents. My children are still very young and I've been searching for a book that will help me get an idea of the challenges we are going to face once my kids get to school. This book answered every question I had, and then some!The book was also a fast read, not all scientific and authoritative. Just good, honest, practical advice and tips. I read the book in just two sittings; in fact, I couldn't put it down once I started because the writing flowed really well. Highlights include: -- How to explain to teachers and day care workers what your child's needs are. -- How to deal with doctors, friends, and family who might disagree with your chosen lifestyle. -- Great ideas for how to transition children to veganism, no matter what their age is. -- A pretty decent nutrition section that covers the most important nutrients your kids need, and written in a format that I understood easily. -- A chapter that includes great travel tips if you're vegan. -- My favorite chapter, the one on Social Situations. She covers everything like birthday parties, holidays, summer camp, finding other vegan families in your neighborhood, etc. I found so many of those tips useful in my daily life. -- I enjoyed the chapter on compassion in action, but felt she could have taken that one a lot further than she did. Overall, though, a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it to parents who have vegan kids. I plan to re-read it often as my children get older and start to encounter new situations.

Summary: Okay....
Review: This book is okay. It's not the best book I've come across but it's okay and is worth reading. Most info is very basic and for someone new to veganism, a lot of common sense.
