"This is a book I would happily recommend to any parent...It is both accessible and authoritative, clearly reflecting the author's considerable experience with a wide variety of children with feeding problems ranging from the most mundane to the very worrisome. The author has a well-balanced view of the multiple perspectives that are brought to bear on childhood feeding problems, and her advice is always trustworthy and often wise."

"Here is a formidable, easy-to-read guide full of great solutions for parents having difficult mealtimes with their picky infants and preschoolers. Piette's many years of experience as a pediatric nutritionist and dietitian especially shine in her extended coverag of toddlerhood, the age when picky eating manifests itself the most owing to the independence seeking character of toddlers. Highly recommended for all public libraries."
