On My Plate

(sorry no picture) 

This book is about enjoying protein foods and all of the foods that are protein. This is a fun way for children to eat healthy and is based off of the MyPlate Meal Structure.

This will be considered a nonfiction book because it instructs children to eat healthy meals, but have fun doing it.

Children go over the pyramid of foods and the different food groups. Also, they could list foods that are in the protein list, and foods that are not protein. 

What’s cool about this book is it shows real children enjoying a meal full of protein. Children can see that other children just like them, eat healthy foods, and look like they enjoy doing it!  Teachers can teach about health by reading this book aloud and making a chart to see what type of food has protein in it. They could do the different types of food groups.

This is a great book because it has large pictures that other children can see. They can show mommy and daddy what they’ve learned about protein at home, maybe request that their parents fix something with only protein in it!
