The Yale Guide to Children's Nutrition

Rating:
Summary: Clear, informative, and easily read
Review: As the first-time parent of a 17 month old child, I'm no stranger to nutritional eating for adults, but absolutely clueless as to the same for children... especially for the most finicky child (MINE!). This book helped to explain methodology of eating, essential childhood vitamins and nutrients, and age by age explanations of eating behavior and nutrition. I bought a few other children's nutrition books along with this one (such as the one from American Academy of Pediatrics), and I definitely found this one the most helpful. The chapter format allows you to read only the chapters that pertain to your child. Complete with recipes! I have yet to try them, but they look delicious.

Rating:
Summary: Easy to understand and educational!
Review: I felt like I was back in high school science. All the things that I learned, flooded back to me. Now I feel a lot more confident in selecting foods for my kids and label reading. I'm very happy that I found this book.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent reference for parents and childcare workers.
Review: One of the books that should be on any parent's shelves. Easy to read, but detailed.
