Teach Me About Mealtime is a book by Joy Berry for ages 1 - 3 that encourages children to eat food that is good for them. It also provides children with guidelines for eating properly.
I found this book (and other Joy Berry Classic books) to be an excellent resource to teach my 2 year old important social skills. The words are simple and are able to keep a toddler's attention, which isn't easy to do. The pictures are nice and interesting. My daughter likes to read about the boy at the table with his doggy. She turns the pages herself and talks about what is happening. I highly recommend this series of books as a wonderful and fun learning tool.

This book was recommended to me by an occupational therapist in response to my 4 year old son's messy eating habits. I found it was helpful to read it to him and then use some of concepts from the book during mealtime to redirect his behavior. The text is simple and direct. I think it might be better for a younger child as it is a board book and very easy to follow. My son's OT recommended Berry's like of special times book, but this particular one was relevant for my situation.
