My kids love junk food. My son is a sweets eater while my daughter prefers salty chips. Everything in moderation is okay with me, but we try to limit these kinds of foods. I keep plenty of fresh fruit and veggies out for them to munch on but the junk food craving lurks in the backs of their little minds. The first chance they get, they are ready to chow down on an empty calorie snack. I can’t say that I’m the best example either, since I can consume my fair share of junk food. Then came Jolene. In Jolene — Adventures of a Junk Food Queen, the junk food queen meets her match in a mixed-up fairy tale full of Broccoli Bears, Wise Wolves, and other crazy characters. The language is so colorful and fun that it’s hard to put this book down. The end of the book also has some fun smoothie recipes to try. I would recommend having these around so that you can serve them up after reading the book. Suggest having a junk food ban day at your house. After reading Junk Food Jolene’s story, my kids were willing to give it a try!
