Mealtime—“Yummy-in-the-tummy time”—is an opportunity to teach young children two major life skills: nutrition and table manners. Simple but important mealtime routines come to life as the toddlers in this book remember to wash their hands, use a napkin and fork or spoon, stay at the table, and eat healthy foods.Toddlers also learn the one big rule for mealtime: Always try one bite (“You just might like it!”). Parents and caregivers want toddlers to develop healthy eating habits and positive mealtime routines. This book helps them do so with Verdick’s keen ability to speak directly to little ones and Heinlen’s delightful, appealing illustrations. Includes tips for parents and caregivers.Toddler Tools® series Daily transitions and routines can be a struggle for any toddler, as well as parents and caregivers. These award- winning, positive books can help ease the many challenging "times" that are a part of every toddler's day.

    • Fun book and gets my toddler to eat!
So here is my funny story with this book. We got it from the library when my son was 1.5 and read it to him. It was great because he could recognize the pictures and foods. It encouraged him to enjoy food and see others enjoying too. All the characters are always smiling! So one of the lines in the book is, "Always try one bite! you just might like it!" The first time my son refused food, I sort of mumbled the line to him quietly. He perked up and laughed so I went and grabbed the book and read the line from that same page. Magic! he took a bite! It became a tradition. Whenever he won't try something new we sing the line to him, grab the book (we keep it near the table!) and presto--he tries one bite. He might spit the bite out, yes, but he has never refused trying something new. How is that for the power of words and books, eh?! Now as he is older, we don't even need to quote or show the book--he does it out of habit. While I can't guarantee your kid will do the same, this book really made an impact for us. We got it so many times from the library we finally just bought it. If nothing else, I want to save it to show him when he is older so we can laugh about it. As for the book itself--it is a nice solid thick board book. No flimsy pages here. The pictures are simple, clear and colorful. The people pictured are diverse and the message is good. They show healthy foods, not junk or sweets. And it talks about table manners too. It really does this in a fun and enjoyable way and I think it is a cheerful - definitely not punitive - book about eating and food. You can't really lose with this one. It's nice also that it focuses on several kids--looks like maybe it is in a daycare or school, rather than one kid because I think my son liked that he could be part of all those kids by eating. Group mentality works here. It's a small book but I would highly recommend it. There are so many complicated books abut eating these days, it's nice to just have a simple straightforward one like this. I like the series as well but the other books are not as good as this one in my opinion. ... show more

    • Great book for mealtime & manners!
Great book! Our 2 year old was struggling with some manners at mealtime. We bought this book & like magic he started saying "more please" instead of "more", made an effort to use his napkin throughout the meal, and would say "all done" when he was finished - all items the book emphasizes. Pictures in the book are bright, words are simple, & my son loves it! At bedtime he asks for the Mealtime book. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Pretty good!
This book is pretty good for talking about meal time. I wish it mentioned throwing food since that is one thing my toddler is doing but overall introduces manners!

I ordered this book along with several other books to include in my son's kitchen play area. This one is his favorite and is a really good book to introduce your little one to the process of mealtime: washing hands, setting the table, trying new foods, and then cleaning up. It is set in a daycare setting where the children are sitting at a table at their height and pass each other food in a family dining style. One part I don't like is the 'one bite' rule as several families don't use that rule for a variety of reasons. But it is otherwise a good tool to introduce your child to the process of mealtime. ... show more

    • Love these books
This book was great for my toddlers as well as a helpful reminder to older kids. Short, sweet, to the point positive reminders. The sayings are easy for kids to memorize and repeat. My kids now ages 4-6 still ask to read these over and over. When a child struggles in an area I pull the book out and also put it on their free time app. ... show more

    • Good for picky eaters
The book has the right amount of text for reading to a 2.5-3 year old. I bought it to encourage chewing with one’s mouth closed, it doesn’t cover that at all. It’s more focused trying new foods.

    • Amazing little learning book
We love this book and so did our 20 month old! He naturally learned how to gently take his plates to the sink after he’s done with his meal. We’re very happy with this book
