There's trouble afoot at the Food Pyramid: Strange new junk food like "candy bar" and "hot dog" are kicking off all the healthy food to have their own party. Even poor Granny Smith apple gets the boot! As the fruits and vegetables try to regroup, the junk keeps the party going. But no pyramid can support all that junk for long-when it comes time to rebuild, will the healthy foods be able to find the right balance?
With different diets receiving so much attention in recent years, nutrition can be a confusing topic for young readers, so Rex Barron uses a simple story and animated edibles to present an easy introduction to the basic concepts of healthy eating as recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture.

One of my favorite books! Always gives me a chuckle! I use it in my Kindergarten class when we discuss the food pyramid. It's a cute read and is an attention grabber with food names like "King Candy Bar" and "Carolina Cucumber." Great, vibrant pictures for kids to see.
BTW, the book is a little dated due to the government tweaking the food pyramid in 2006. The book uses the old horizontal model and the newest pyramid has vertical divisions. But I would still definitely recommend the book.

This is a wonderful, colorful, and delightful book about the food groups that can keep any elementary school child's attention. The characters are represented by each food group of the food pyramid that doesn't load the students up with facts and figures but rather presents a storyline on how the food groups can learn to get along and work together --sending the message that eating all food groups in proportion is best. This book makes a great read aloud and offers a great introduction to health and nutrition.

Like the previous reviewer said, this book is simplistic and somewhat out of date. I'd like to see the potatoes have a more prominent role in the story instead of as strong, but silent bystanders. The graphics are very good, at least.

Decent book, but information is a bit out of date. Beans got classified with nuts as something to only have a small amount of because of high fat content. Since when are beans high fat?
