This informational book aims to help the youngest of readers understand the basics of healthy eating. In spite of being a primer, Healthy Eating Habits uses vocabulary like “protein” but doesn’t define it or give examples. There is a picture glossary in the back of the book where I expected to find terms like “protein” and “fat”. Instead, it strangely includes “habits” and “balanced meal,” among other terms. On the plus side, the colorful design and photographs help reinforce the message about healthy eating; variety and balance are key! In addition, throughout the book, Reinke includes critical thinking questions which are paired nicely with the images and the text. This book is best suited for PreK-Grade 1.
