“Drinking soda once in a while will not make you sick. However, soda is generally not a healthy choice.” With a large font, simple sentences, and honest but not scaremongering statements, this book explains why youngsters should think twice before reaching for a can of their favorite pop. Chapters walk readers through the history of soda, how it’s made, and how to read nutrition labels and make healthy choices. The large, bright, captioned photos show children, soda production, and other relevant subjects. A glossary, link to a list of Web sites, and an index conclude.
