I was surprised this book endorsed a vegan/vegetarian diet for children. While it was thorough, it wasn't my cup of tea. I have hypothyroidism, so I avoid soy and the book has quite a bit of soy recipes/options in it.

Promotes a vegan diet. Few recipes.Pancakes were great-oatmeal cookies not so much.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful information. Love the spaghetti recipe. It promotes a vegan diet, but I just can't go there.

[Kristyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

They're definitely pushing a pro-vegan agenda, but still some great information even if you eat meat.

Concerned over your child's diet? and I hope you are... this is your book.
