Despite being a male to female transsexual herself, Claudine Griggs seems to have done a one-sided research by collecting more information regarding female to male transsexuals. If you belong to the latter group, you might like this book.

The concept of this book was good. but the recipes are poorly written, sometimes with steps apparently left out. Even if the recipes are followed as written, the final product does not come out properly. In addition, my kids would not eat any of the recipes I made from this book. (Although my husband & I liked some of them). If you are looking for a children's cookbook I would look elsewhere.

Interesting book to read but recipes are complicated, time consuming and if that's not enough the 3 we tested tasted horrible. Food for little fingers is a much better book for both toddlers and youngsters.

With over 150 delicious recipes, you will want to try some of these recipes for yourself. Kids and adults alike will enjoy recipes for Berry Delight drinks or chicken patties in a soft tortilla. There are appealing and quick alternatives to fast food and non-nutritious snacks.

The authors Michael van Straten and Barbara Griggs have experience in the area of nutrition. Michael van Straten is a well-known medicine practitioner in the UK and is a practicing naturopath and nutritional consultant. Barbara Griggs has been studying and writing about complementary medicine for the past 25 years and is the health editor of Country Living magazine.

In this collection, you will find weekly menu plans for every stage of childhood, from conception to the teenage years. An interesting link between diet and allergies, behavioral problems and eating disorders is also helpful for parents dealing with these complex issues.

Nutritious food is now possible with Superfoods for Children. Delicious nourishing dishes can be made for your child to encourage healthy eating habits. There is a comprehensive guide to 130 top ingredients that form the building blocks of healthy eating for children. Vegetables, fruits, dairy products, grains, nuts and seeds, meats, fish, herbs and oils are then used in delicious recipes.

They do say that butter is better than margarine...ok, they get 5 stars just for that comment! I also appreciated the extra section on "Danger Foods." These are foods which used to be occasional treats but have now become part of our children's everyday eating. The authors explain why these foods are not healthy and in detail! I guess some of the items they discuss are not good for adults either.

Some recipes serve 4-6, while others serve 1 or 2. If you are at home cooking for your children, you will not have to make another meal for yourself. Overall, a very well organized book with some wonderful information for special food problems. With so much hyperactivity and children who find it hard to concentrate, parents might find their children become calmer after cooking for them at home and following nutritional guidelines. Studies were conducted which showed dramatic improvements in behavior within a week of being on a monitored diet.

It's always been a bit of a mystery as to why people buy this type of book (I received mine as a gift). The 201 Best Things Ever Said purports to be just that, a compendium of clever, witty and useful quotes. It takes about 5 minutes to "read" this book, and I found that once I glanced through it once or twice, I never looked at it again.

The quotes aren't organized in any particular way and there's no index, so if you're looking for a quote on a particular subject, good luck finding it. Furthermore, many of the quotes really aren't that interesting (and certainly aren't the best things ever said) and many were said by people I have never heard of. I also find it hard to believe that Lily Tomlin has 3 or 4 of the greatest quotes in the history of mankind.

I think you have to be a real quote lover to buy this book. People looking for a useful book of quotes should try and find a book with an index and quotes organized by subject/theme.

I thought that this book was a disgrace to Tim Horton, his chain of coffee shops, AND to the sport of hockey. I forced myself to turn each page, hoping against hope that this book would get better, but it never did. I lost three hours of my life and precious memory cells. don't make the same mistake I did.

If you are looking for a book/CD with brazilian/latin flavored guitar music with rythmic overtones, this is not the book to buy. I was deeply disappointed. Absolutely nothing special at all
