What's in Your Pizza?
Ask any kid about his or her favorite food, and chances are pretty good that you'll hear more than a few shouts of "pizza!" Luckily, pizza doesn't have to be an unhealthy food choice. This book identifies the various components that make up a pizza and where they come from. Sources of added fats and calories are examined in straightforward and easy-to-follow text. Bright photographs aid readers in visualizing the suggested healthy (and tasty) alternatives to traditional toppings.

Series Review: What's in Your Fast Food?"This series has information specific to each food as well as some general nutrition information to help the reader make a meal more nutritious. If a child reads only one book in the series, they will probably have more knowledge about nutrition than the average adult. Preservatives, additives, and sodium content are all explained as important parts of processed foods, giving a very even-handed look at fast food. Rather than trying to convince kids not to eat it, the author shows how to add more nutrition to the meal. Looking at the nutrition label is important. The series speaks to children without preaching about real foods kids love."
