Addison Apple is frustrated. He doesn’t like oatmeal; he doesn’t like to eat anything his mother makes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day, his mother agrees to let him eat whatever he wants. For three days Addison gladly eats as much candy, ice-cream, cake and potato chips as he can. Then, something unexpected happens, he starts to feel sick and learns the valuable lesson that sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
In Snack Attack, Addison encapsulates the typical picky eater who frowns at anything without an ounce of sugar, saccharine or high-fructose corn syrup. Like all good parents, his mother, hoping to teach her son the value of good nutrition, gives him the leeway he needs to learn from making poor food choices.
Snack Attack is a terrific story to introduce children to the benefits of healthy eating and the consequences of not doing so. I also appreciated the health and safety messages woven into the story. Through Addison, children learn what happens when you eat too much junk food and how the body craves nutritious food to maintain proper health.
