What a clever way to teach children about vitamins and good nutrition! Nurse Olivia Welle (love the play on words) comes to visit a first grade class to teach about vitamins. They are expecting a boring presentation, but she teaches them in fun rhymes. In the book, each child recites back the knowledge gained about one of these vitamins. The rhymes are catchy and clever and include the names of common foods you need to eat in order to acquire these vitamins. The author even matches the name of the child reciting to the letter of the vitamin. Parents might want to use this book as a way to entice children to try new foods. Classroom teaches will find this book a fun way to teach to common core curriculum. Lessons can be cross referenced to science and nutrition. The illustrations are colorful and simple enough for young children to follow. In addition, the reader is offered a link to obtain a free vitamin chart. This book is a good investment.
