Review by Horn Book Review

Rhyming text introduces food-group selections, occasionally describing the benefits they can offer. Some rhymes are a stretch (iron with firin'), and the meter is uneven. Over-the-top feline illustrations accompany the texts. The volumes are light on useful nutritional information but heavy on zaniness. [Review covers these Food Is Categorical titles: Black Beans and Lamb, Poached Eggs and Ham, Green Beans, Potatoes, and Even Tomatoes, and Macaroni and Rice and Bread by the Slice.] (c) Copyright 2011.
