Mommy, Can I Eat This by Ms. Maria S

Mommy, Can I Eat This? by Ms. Maria S. Focus on how much sugar is in the food we eat and what actually happens to our body when we have too much.

BTW did you know that as of 2018 The American Heart Association recommends that children should have no more than 28 grams of sugar per day.

The 411:

In this adorable book based on Science Mommy teaches her two children Michael and Ariel how much sugar is in the foods they love by giving them 5 sugar cubes a day. They can turn in their sugar cubes for their sugary treats or hold them and receive an even bigger, better prize. 

Honestly the book was very eye opening. I mean I know how to read labels and how to do right by my kids but thinking about I would so easily give my kids fruit snacks or a whole candy bar when they were younger made me realize that I never really put two and two together. My kids AND I were easily eating way more sugar than any of us should be eating. Thankfully they are not obese, don’t drink soda and aren’t sugar junkies but I can see how hard it would be if my kids were.

I think kids will enjoy the story as well as the pictures and parents will enjoy the Parent/teacher corner on each two page spread.
