Rainbow plate by Doctor Preeya Alexander
Illus. by Annabel Cutler. Little Steps Publishing, 2019. ISBN:
9781925839418. pbk., 28pp
Highly recommended. This is a simple story about eating well and
teaching children good habits for healthy eating later in life.
Comparing the foods to the rainbow makes it a fun story and could
get young children thinking about what they are eating and how they
can vary what they are eating.
The illustrations in the book support the story well making it fun
to read.
The introduction for parents in the front of this book is a great
reminder to parents about the importance of eating healthily, and
that also it doesn't have to be a chore, it can be a game. Use the
rainbow plate to see how many different colors you can eat in a day.
You could also keep a record and see if over a week you can manage
to eat all of the colors of the rainbow.
I highly recommend this book.
