We have two baskets (one in our daughter's bedroom and one in the living room) with about 20 books each. I rotate books that I get from the library or pick up cheap at thrift stores. I often find her sitting for a long time "reading" book after book. We read to her several times a day. As far as specific food books, I don't really use anything specific. I find that reading has so many teachable moments and they pop up when you least expect them. If we are reading a book, such as The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle, we will talk about food in that she can or can't eat. <br /><br />PS I love your cookbook!!! We made the mac and cheese and it's now a staple for lunch!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16574287628551463207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363124804507872706.post-41470405584276636482010-03-18T15:51:29.342-05:002010-03-18T15:51:29.342-05:00I think it is neat that you use the books for teac...I think it is neat that you use the books for teaching your child and not just to learn how to read or tell a story.<br /><br />Do you use other food oriented books that aren't food allergy based too? I was curious since you mention that you use the books to show her what she can and can't have. I get questions about this sort of thing a lot at Go Dairy Free, and love to be able to share ideas like yours and your blog!Alisa - Frugal Foodiehttp://www.onefrugalfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.com
