Healthy Snacks for Kids (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks)

A really nice book of fun and easy recipes that will help kids learn to like healthier food choices while having fun making these recipes -- a two-in-one learning experience. Not to mention all the fun names that might help them appreciate creativity in the use of language (another lesson for kids!). Some of our favorites are Monkey Milkshake, Arctic Oranges, and Funny Face Pancakes. Sure, what goes into the food is important, but so is the presentation -- and this book emphasizes both. If you're looking for gourmet food, this probably is not the right book. If you want to make mealtime with picky eaters into a much easier and pleasant experience for all parties involved, this could be the answer. Includes recipes for meals and snacks. A great book.

Great ideas for kids snacks. Easy to prepare with mostly the food you have on hand. I had and used recipes from this book when my kids were small and now use the same recipes and then some from this "new" book for my grandchildren. Highly recommend this book.

This is a handy sized cookbook with tons of recipes. Definately more than what you would expect for its size. Recipes are of the heathly variety with yogurt, fruits, and granolas as main staples of the recipes. The recipes are easy to follow, and come out well. They also give great ideas on presentation to help with the pickey eaters. If you are into health foods, and making sure your young one gets plenty of the natural foods this is the book you want to pick up.

I was hoping for a more imaginative book....more helpful in getting my picky vegetartian child to eat more and different foods. Many of the recipes my own 3 yr. old could have come up with herself!Oh well.....another to add to the collection!

I got this from the library to review. This one is a different edition, not what was advertised on amazon, but I was contacted by the seller to make amends, which wasn't necessary. Fun, easy recipes. Just right for my simple pantry.
