Weekly Reader Learning Library has introduced a new series, "Let's Read About Food," designed to help beginning readers understand the concepts of healthy eating and good nutrition. Each book covers one of the food groups represented by the food pyramid, and through simple text and colorful photos, helps set children on the path to a lifetime of wise eating habits. This book discusses the bread and cereal group, showing youngsters attractive pictures of oatmeal, crackers, pasta, rice and popcorn, at the same time teaching them the benefits of eating plenty of this type of food daily. The glossary helps out with words such as bagel, pretzel, tortilla and vitamin. Other books in the series include Fats and Sweets, Fruit, Meat, Milk and Cheese, and Vegetables. 2002, Gareth Stevens,
