The King and the Queen and the Jelly Bean

This book is fun for kids, but also provides important lessons for kids and parents regarding healthy food choices. Young children are often exposed to marketing messages that attract them to unhealthy foods. This bood does a great service by countering those messages in a fun and engaging way.

I think this was a really great book! It definitely gives a good measage to families. The illustrations are catchy, and the rhyming added alot. Little kids will be influenced by the creative characters. -Aja Watkins

I acquired a copy of The King and Queen and the Jelly Bean several months ago and since then have read it nightly to my three daughters (6, 3, 3). In fact, my six year old daughter now reads the book to her twin sisters. Each evening after reading to the girls, we play a game of identifying the different beans. Our three year old twins are able to identify all of the beans. I did not realize how much our three year old daughters were learning from this book until one day when we all went grocery shopping. As we walked down the canned food isle, our twin daughter ran to a can of kindey beans and said, "daddy, these are kidney beans and they are in the book we read before night, night." We really like the book, especially the healthy eating habits it teaches. The King and Queen and the Jelly bean is a big hit in our home. Pastor kd
