Why should I eat well is a story of a young girl named Monica who only eats her favorite foods. No one is able to convince who to eat new, healthier options until a new girl arrives at school. Rachel explains to Monica the reasons why she tries to eat her best and what happens over time if you only eat bad foods. Monica learns a lot about food and its relationship with her body. Monica is then inspired to try new foods, with the occasional cheat snack that her and Rachel and both enjoy. This is a cute story on health and nutrition. I like that Rachel doesn't shame Monica for what she eats, but rather educates her and creates a dialogue with her about health and nutrition.
This is an adorable story about a girl and her friend Rachel who learn to eat healthy. The narrator who's named Monica (a young girl) talks about how she didn't eat healthy at first, how her family, friends, and community tried to create healthier options for her. Rachel shares with Monica everything that a poor diet can cause and how to become more healthy.
This book talks about why it is important to eat good foods. I like this book because it teaches kids the consequences of eating unhealthy and how your body likes to be fed good, healthy foods.
A young girl and her friend Rachel learn how to eat healthy foods. Before meeting Rachel, Monica used to only eat unhealthy, like chocolate pudding. But Monica introduced her to healthy eating and explained to her why she should eat healthy foods. Rachel showed her what could happen if she has lots of sugary drinks, or too many burgers.
