The Cleaner Plate Club
Beth Bader
Ally Benjamin
People are always asking for good books to use with their children. Well, this is the best answer we’ve had yet. We all know children shouldn’t talk to strangers, so authors Bader and Benjamin introduce your kids to some folks they should know: from vegetables and whole foods to basic kitchen processes and fundamental skills. The book is oriented towards parents, with special attention paid to persuading kids to eat what’s good for them, but also approachable enough so eager youngsters can happily pick it up themselves. The book is full of cute and friendly illustrations, and it keeps things simple without ever talking down or playing dumb.
