Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Snacks
Ted Schaefer · 2006
52/100
👎 Skip It
A functional curriculum supplement that does its narrow job of introducing young readers to healthy snack choices and food safety. The Schaefers were experienced Raintree educational authors and this fits neatly into a classroom health unit. It is purely utilitarian, though — no narrative appeal, no independent reviews, and the nutritional guidance is nearly 20 years old.
