Best-selling food writer David Goldbeck’s new and highly praised book, “ The ABC’s of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond,” is becoming an essential part of every kids’ book section. This remarkable book is a great value, as it is actually two books in one for “kids to grow with.” Children first learn their alphabet through clever “produce poems,” then go on to hundreds of related activities. In a second printing after only a few months, it has been purchased by several school districts, where it is an important resource in improving children’s relationship with these important foods. Co-authored with Jim Henson writer, Steve Charney. Nutritionist approved. Featured in the New York Times and dozens of other library, parent and popular publications. Sample pages at http://www.healthyhighways.com/kc/index.htm 112 pages / Paper / Full color throughout Book by Steve Charney and David Goldbeck.

A reader said it best: “This great…cookbook is chock full of recipes for every meal of the day – especially if your toddler, who like me, couldn't care less what's "appropriate" to eat at certain times. In addition to brunch and breakfast sections, there are chapters on juicing, lunchbox favorites, baked goods, wheat-, dairy- and egg-free recipes, and just plain fun food. There are plenty of vegan recipes, too. One addition that new vegetarian parents will find helpful is the Table of Milk Values comparing everything from almond and soy to cow's and goat's milk.… I hope you love this book as much as I do. If you get it, you must try the Chunky Apple Oatmeal Pancakes.” Book by Nikki & David Goldbeck. (Bio above) 224 pages / Paper / Index / Illustrated For adults and kids
