French Kids Eat Everything

Karen Le Billon gives a fascinating account of her family's move to a small town in France, where her two young daughters undergo a major overhaul of their resolutely fussy North American eating habits. Narrator Cris Dukehart provides a gentle, motherly tone as she describes the differences between North American and French eating habits, and how these practices are systematically introduced to children and reinforced in both school and family life. Where appropriate, Dukehart includes passable French accents for native French speakers. Thought-provoking and easy to digest, this work concludes with 10 practical tips for introducing positive, French-inspired food habits to children. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
