Hit: Books to compare foods

[Wayne and Harrow Strickland <w-hstrickland@MINDSPRING.COM>]

Wow!  As always...you all are amazing.  Thanks to all who contributed!  I
had numerous replies for Gregory the Terrible Eater and also Mr. Sugar.
Those were the top two.

And here are the results.....

1.  Look for the book Gregory the terrible eater.  A goat who eats all the
healthy food
and worries his parents.

2.  How about searching under the keyword of "nutrition"?
Also try
Charles, Donald - Fat, fat Calico Cat
Leedy, Loreen - The Edible Pyramid
Rohmer, H. - Mr. Sugar Came to Town (bilingual English-Spanish)

3.  Chicken Soup with Rice
Green Eggs and Ham
I Know an old lady who swallowed a fly
The gingerbread boy
The magic porridge pot
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Gregory the terrible eater
Growing vegetable soup
Eating the alphabet
The Berenstain bears and too much junk food
The very hungry caterpillar
DW the picky eater
Bread and jam for Frances
The giant jam sandwich
Stone soup
Wolf's chicken stew
The turnip

4.  I was going to recommend Gregory the Terrible Eater but couldn't
remember the
author (Sharmat, I found).  I looked in the archives to see if anyone had
mentioned the title and found a HIT on nutrition readalouds.  Go to the
archives
and search using Gregory and eater.  You should find the HIT

5.  How about, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle?  The caterpillar
gets
a stomach ache when he eats all the junk food, but feels much better after
one green leaf.

6.  I wonder if Yummers by James Marshall might possibly work.  Also some of
the George and Martha stories have food in them

7.  Not quite healthy and unhealthy but does deal with "not" eating a
healthy
or varied diet -- Bread and Jam for Frances by Russell Hoban.  Sure is fun
-- As a culmination ask children to bring their own special lunch and eat
lunch in the LMC.  :>)  Hey got to have some fun whereever one can.  :>)


8.  The following titles immediately come to mind for me :
Gregory the Terrible Eater by Mitchell Sharmat
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food
Bread and Jam for Frances by Russell Hoban

The Edible Pyramid by Loreen Leedy might be helpful as well.

When looking up the topic I found the following titles:
Five Kids & A Monkey Solve the Great Cupcake caper by Nina Riccio
Aaahh! School Lunch by Molly Wigand

9.  Did you look at Bread and Jam for Frances--Hoban, Gregory the Terrible
Eater (can't remember the author), Very Hungry Caterpillar--Carle,
Strega Nona--DePaola (too much food) and if you are not opposed to a
reading from a chapter book The Chocolate Touch--Catling.  I think it is
wonder for just the descriptions of the food.  Read the chapter where he
is trying to eat his lunch and everything turns to chocolate as soon as
it touches his mouth.  Even very young children could understand the
passage.


10.  Maybe this is a little off, but there is a book called _Close your
mouth,
dear_ or something like that. I think it's by Aliki. The child eats
household objects by accident and isn't cured until he swallows a vacuum
cleaner hose which sucks everything back out.
