Comment:
Why Shouldn’t I Eat Junk Food? is a book you should not miss if you are a fast food lover. It explains the pros and cons of fast food. Most of all, it gives readers useful tips for staying healthy. What I like most about this book is the simple recipes of various healthy snacks for whoever wants to eat healthily but doesn’t have a clue. Arranged in short topics with vivid illustrations, students in higher primary can comprehend the text without difficulty. The glossary page of food words, as well as the Internet links at the end of the book are useful tools for readers who want to find out more about junk food.
