Celia and Cedric are young children who live down the street from each other in the town of Healthville. Their parents are focused on teaching their children good nutritional choices, so each story is infused with mentions of healthy snacks or meals.
As Celia and Cedric adventure through their neighborhood, as young children do, they have fun adventures that my kids have loved reading about. With each adventure, they always end up in one of their kitchens working on a healthy snack or meal.
My kids love to help me out in the kitchen, so they really enjoyed this aspect of these books. And even better, each book has all the recipes from the story included in the back. (Be sure and check my main blog later in the summer as the kids and I try out a few of these recipes).
All in all, I think the Celia and Cedric books are a wonderful resource to have in our home. I'm glad my kids enjoy the stories and I look forward to using them as we learn about better eating habits in our home.
