Eisenhower's Tricky Halloween Maze: A Dr. Fred Adventure - April McMahon - Bog

The Dr. Fred Children's Collection aims to inspire parents and kids to make healthier choices by eating real food! In our current fast food world with a rising epidemic of obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the time has come to jump on the movement already started by many conscientious individuals and institutions to create awareness and educate children on the potential harm of a western diet rich in refined sugars on their long term health. The Dr Fred Children's Collection aims to plant a seed of nutrition awareness in young children through creative fun stories and characters they can embrace. These books will serve to entertain and educate our children on healthy nutrition options. It is hoped that in time these young minds will select more natural foods and avoid the eventual health complications that result from regularly consuming refined sugars and fast food.
