About this title

Review

?Babies are built from food, ? writes Greene (Raising Baby Green) inthis straightforward manual for eco-conscious parents. Most of thenutritional advice here will not be new to parents; it's notspecific to parents who are choosing organic or sustainable food.The strength of the book is in its personality. Greene shares hisown childhood eating habits and takes a nonjudgmental approach, offering specific brand suggestions for organic baby formulasknowing that some mothers need that option. Parents of picky eaterswill especially appreciate the tips for engaging toddlers in newflavors and aromas. Verdict This title will stand out among theproliferation of organic cookbooks for babies and toddlers, as itcapably tackles the why (we feed our kids healthy food) and how (toget them to eat it). ?Library Journal Xpress Review(Oct 2010)
