This is a comprehensive and interesting book which explores many different aspects of young children's health and eating habits. It is a slender volume (just over 170 pages) but it covers a great deal of ground. There are a number of case studies in each of the chapters. If you are working with young children in any capacity, I am convinced that this book is worth reading to understand more about our children's diets and nutrition today.
It is clearly written and very well researched. There are eight chapters which cover everything from food policy, healthy eating guidelines, eating and emotion, food culture and identity, through to multidisciplinary working. This book seeks to demonstrate that what you eat and drink from a very young age can and will make a difference to your health and well-being over the course of your life. I like the authors' approach and tone, which are both informative and positive.
