The Vegetarian Child: A Complete Guide for Parents

Rating:
Summary: disappointing
Review: I expected more information on vegetarian nutrition & recipes. Though this book presents some of the social obstacles of a living as a vegetarian with children, it offers little in the way of solutions to obstacles - just "arguments" for "defending" vegetarianism. If you wish to argue & defend, you should read this book. Education & information about sound vegetarian nutrition and reasons for living a peaceful vegetarian lifestyle are much better to help justify choices than the information that this book offers.

Rating:
Summary: informative, helpful reading
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I've tried 5 or 6 of the recipes in the back and they are fantastic. It really helped get us out of the mealtime rut we were in. I recommend this book to any parent of vegetarian children.

Summary: dissapointing
Review: I was looking for more information on healthy nutrition for vegetatarian children. This book offers information on attitudes toward vegetairan families and a few nice recipes, but no basic nutrition information. If you're looking for a book to comiserate with your woes of people misunderstanding your wish to raise your child as a vegetarian, then this is the book for you. If you wish to learn about vegetarian nutrition for children, then try Sharon Yntema's books - they are great !
