Book Reviews
The stories are the perfect length with beautiful illustrations. I cannot count how many times we have read them. The recipes in the back are a fantastic addition and had us foraging in the hedgerows this summer.

I did some sessions at a local family centre, we used the books as a basis for introducing healthy eating with children and carers, many of whom came from disadvantaged backgrounds. The children listened to the stories while we tried out some of the recipes at snack time. I found them accessible and fun, and the recipes were easy to follow.

These books are brilliant. Child sized, durable and the stories and illustrations are fabulous. Apart from the lovely stories there are also healthy recipes which the children in our schools have loved using. Gardening tips, recipes, stories and gorgeous pictures as well.

If you want to encourage your children to understand about seasonal food and healthy eating these books are the just the ticket! Just the right length of story and great illustrations. Perfectly pitched recipes and activities.
