Book Week

If you want your child to learn to eat a wider range of foods, Pierre Learns to Eat a Rainbow, is a great helping hand.  Carin Clegg has created this book for both children and parents to learn and talk about the steps to eating new foods.  

Review by Melmarlade: '5 out of 5 stars Great for kids who are not sure about trying new foods. Brilliant book encouraging kids to try different foods.  The "10 tastes before your tongue likes it" idea is great! Lovely pictures and easy to understand story that is relevant to young kids.'

E-book only available to purchase by emailing here.
