I paid to get this sent to NZ because I was so desperate to get my 3 year old to eat more than just peanut butter on toast and blueberries. He is still reluctant to eat lots of things, but we often talk about what his belly bugs are going to build out of what he's eating and what they could make from the veggies on his plate. Seeing as he's only 3, I'm not too bothered by him not suddenly being excited to eat a piece of broccoli, but this book has definitely gently introduced the concept of plant foods being good for our bodies, and sugary treats being not so good for us, which I imagine will help him to develop healthy eating habits as he gets older. Highly recommend this book to all parents!!
Really fun book, excellent at explaining the importance of gut health to youngsters. 5 year old adores it and is loving putting the stickers on the wall chart
This book has really captured my 5 year old daughter's imagination. Any time she is reluctant to eat her veggies, a reminder that she needs to feed her belly bugs is generally accepted without argument!
Absolutely brilliant, as a nutritionist this is a brilliant way to discuss this topic with my own child and the children I work with. My 8 year old loves the book and we have the chart up in the kitchen working tonight the gold stars!
Great little book and loved the free sticker chart
