Upon seeing my own son and his friends struggle with eating certain foods (vegetables!), I created Read Them and Eat Books. These functional, interactive children's books promote creativity, help picky food eaters see food in a new way, and entertain children.

Read Them and Eat Books makes the child (two years old and up) its primary illustrator. Children are encouraged to use food (a suggested ingredient list is provided) to create and act out a story within the designed space. By the end of the story your children will have consumed an entire meal, as well as engaged all five of their senses through this activity.

The books are printed on nontoxic, washable, and water-resistant laminate, which means they can be used over and over. They are also durable and light-weight, allowing for easy transport to a restaurant. 

​I hope your child enjoys these books as ​much as mine does!

Read Them and Eat Books improve children's eating habits through imaginative and sensory storytelling that engage the child and parent making mealtimes enjoyable for both.
