A certain category of children's books that may not be as popular as it deserves, is about nutrition for children. We are talking about books that explain to children in simple words and cute, why they should learn to eat healthily, and what foods they need to put into their lives. Do not forget that through (these) books we certainly come out, as parents, winners as much as our children.

The list is longer than anyone thinks, it seems that many relevant scientists and writers of children's books - among them the well-known and so discussed Eugenios Trivizas - take a good care of the subject. With obesity "getting head" especially at the younger age, such nutrition guides would be a loss to missing out on children's libraries.

The following list - in ascending order of age - gives you a taste of these books that you can find on bookshelves. The description is from the presentation on the backs of the books.

There also are three extra titles that focus on the role of parents on the subject of nutrition for their children. 

• • Alexi eat something: 3+

  What does Alexis think about not eating his food? A strawberry riding in a truck. A milk, the right magical filter. Carrots that have the lens in their pockets.  Crocodiles who do not cry but laugh. And knights who beat them all.    

• I live because there is food: Age 4+ years old

The series "I live because there is. . . "Includes 12 educational books addressed to children of the Kindergarten and the first classes of Primary and explain in a simple and pleasant way the phenomena of nature. Food is necessary!

• • Good appetite! : 4+

  Here, children meet a series of animals (hedgehog, elephant, fox, parrot etc.) in various activities, all of which are somehow related to food. The pictures, all painted by this great artist and educator, Eric Carle, with magnificent collages, mimic the imagination of children and promote their aesthetics. At the same time, a second section of nutrition information is running. 

• • The beautiful Darius: 4-7 years old

  Salads, fruits and legumes - is this a nice cat's food? Darius prefers garbage. But, if you go on the road, how are you going back? An adventure with surprises ...

•  In the vegetable garden with grandfather and grandmother: 5+

• Sophia is a child of the city but she spends all her holidays in the countryside, grandfather and grandmother who have a wonderful vegetable garden with all kinds of vegetables. Sophia will learn all the secrets of gardening and will discover the pleasure of watching her plants growing and enjoy herlabors on the plate! Returning from the countryside, Sofia decides to make the gardener... on her balcony. A small vegetable garden is born in the city...

•  Mommy I eat right? : Age of 5 years

• Imagine the following scene: You are in your kitchen and wondering what to cook for your child. Think (always): Make something healthy. Good work, ladies! Your next thought is that this "healthy" must necessarily involve something in a vegetable. Nicely. And at this point your limelight starts! Because your baby anytime hearing or seeing anything "green" starts running away...

•  The flying disc : 5-6 years old

• While Mrs. Katina was missing for a while from the kitchen, a toast, a hot pepper, a sugar cube, a teardrop, a potato whose tears run a faucet and their companions take a brave decision; to escape from the kitchen with a flying disc and travel to space where a thousand two wonderful and unexpected things await them!

•  The golden puppy: 6-9 years old

• Somewhere, somehow, sometime ... A little girl did not even want to hear about fruit ... What if everyone told her she was doing good to her health and growth, that unwise ... Sweet again ... Until some people have decided to take the situation in their "hands" or more specifically in their stalks ...

•  And you mummy your halva: 7-8 years old

• Every time she listens to her mom calling Varsavoula, the little one who does not like to call her Varsavoula becomes outraged:

  - You, mom ... your halva.

  The Varsavoula has a girlfriend, Amalia, that although she wants to become prima ballerina is not eating properly. And then she takes action.

  - Well done, Varsavoula , her mom's welcome.

  - You, mom ... your halva, she responds angrily to her in the hope that everything will happen as she dreams.

•  Thumps up for health down for obesity: 9-15 years

• The book answers the questions: - What is obesity? - How Can We NOT Become Obese? - What is the Mediterranean Diet - What is the Hygiene Diet Pyramid? - What are Mutants (GMOs) - Why are they saying that? - What is the Consumer? - What is Consumer Consciousness? - What is the Volunteer? - Why should we read the labels of the food we buy?

Modern diet for children
