Amazon Review:This attractive spiral bound book is packed full of creative ideas that will inspire readers to make terrific bag lunches that are inexpensive, appealing and nutritious. The first half of the book offers tips for picky eaters, organizing your life, money and time saving tips and last minute shortcuts. There are wonderful breakfast ideas and suggestions for getting your whole family involved in making lunches. Safety is a concern with packed lunches and the helpful hints in this section will keep your bag lunches fresh and safe to eat. Lunches don't have to be boring and routine if you use the many free reproducible ideas for perking them up, including notes, poems, riddles, treats, lunch box treasures and smiles. If you want to be environmentally friendly and you love to sew, there's an easy to follow pattern for making your own cloth lunch bag. Maxine consulted Registered Dietitian, Alison Craig to evaluate the material and contribute a section with nutritional advice for concerned parents. This advice reinforces the book's theme of enjoying all foods while keeping a "moderation in all things" perspective on eating. The last half of the book contains recipes that are quick to prepare and sure to be kid pleasers. There are also great ideas for school snack days. Maxine encourages parents to involve their kids in the planning, growing, buying and preparing of food, by explaining the positive, even educational benefits of this involvement.
