My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus

A clever and amusing, yet thoughtful approach to introducing children to delicious healthy foods they can eat and enjoy their whole lives.

My Two-Year-Old Eats Octopus offers sound nutrition advice and draws on the research and experience of food and health professionals as well as renowned chefs.

The emphasis is on the influence of parents in those very early years and how vitally necessary it is to teach children about food in a way that will benefit their health and well-being throughout their lives.
