I Get So Hungry
Beloved author Bebe Moore Campbell's last book shines light on childhood obesity. Once Nikki starts eating, it's hard for her to stop. She snacks when she is upset, angry or bored. But when her teacher, Mrs. Patterson, is taken to the hospital because of her weight, Nikki realizes that she wants to live a healthier lifestyle. She and Mrs. Patterson work together to help each other succeed, and Nikki even convinces her mom to get involved and exercise too. Acclaimed author Bebe Moore Campbell said she wrote this as she felt strongly about the worth and necessity of this story. She hoped to touch kids and parents and help them make changes in their lives. Amy Bates? charming illustrations bring to life this important story of one young girl's struggle with weight gain, an all-too-familiar problem for children today.

Good for a doctor's office
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A wonderful discussion of obesity and the use of food in ways destructive to health. This book would be good for a doctor's waiting room or a school library. It would help kids understand how they misuse food.
Important subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a children's counselor this subject has been minimally addressed in young childrens literature. I was pleased to see this title and review it. It is important to address this issue, and this author does so in a realistic manner. This book makes a good starting point for further discussions with children and parents about nutrition, reasons we eat, exercise and healthy habits. Many people use food as a coping mechanism and to see this issue being addressed for young children is a positive step in addressing this problem.
