After reading Stephanie Maze’s children’s book, Healthy Foods from A to Z / Comida sana de la A a la Z, there is little excuse for parents and children not to enjoy selecting and eating healthy foods and learn in the process.

This thirty two page, over eight by eleven inch hard cover book has a happy face collage of healthy foods against a bright yellow background on the front jacket and a different smaller happy face with paragraphs about the book and a review in both English and Spanish against a green background on the back jacket. There were no typographical, grammatical or punctuation errors found in either language. The book is recommended for the appropriate age of three years and above.

This fun, educational and visually attractive book is a wonderful tool to teach young children about foods that are healthy, low in fat and cholesterol and fun to eat. Each page inside is dedicated to a letter of the alphabet with some exceptions where two or three of the lesser used letters are combined on one page such as X,Y and Z. Each page has English words for the specific letter on the left side of the page and Spanish words on the right side (example: G has grapefruit, green beans, garlic and guava on the left and garbanzos, gandules and guisantes on the right). In addition, the opposite language word is written in smaller italicized print and in parenthesis under the main word (i.e. grapefruit (pomelo).

Besides the beautiful mouth-watering, photographic pictures of the individual foods throughout the entire book, the middle of each alphabet page depicts the foods arranged in a clever manner that resembles a happy, creative human face.

After each alphabetical letter is presented, the end of the book has instructions how to make one’s own healthy food face with a fun comment not to eat the art project and to wash your hands afterwards. There are other food projects to try and an extensive seven-page section to parents on each healthy food, its origination and what it provides for the body.

What makes this book so unique is that every food, word and sentence is in both English and Spanish, giving an educational bi-cultural and bi-lingual opportunity for not only children but also adults. Reader, beware! Your children or even you may start designing happy faces on your next meal plates and calling foods their foreign equivalent words!
