December 3rd, 2011 · No Comments · Books

Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN A few weeks ago I got my hands on one of those 100-ways-to-help-earth type books. I usually just scan them to see if farm animals and dietary choices are mentioned at all. All too often these books pull an Al Gore and ignore the biggest way to make a positive [...]

The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food

September 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Books

Review By JESSICA ALMY All kids can use the message in The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food – that healthy, nourishing foods are better than candy and processed snacks – but vegetarian and vegan families might have some heavy editing to do when they read this book.
