Summary

Each time she is asked if she wants more, she claims to be 'too full.' The vegetables, pasta, fruit, milk, and cheese are all so delicious she enjoys each item and is energized and happy to continue playing, reading, painting, and bike riding. The illustrations are colorful and show a child's creative and varied range of activities and interests from painting, reading, playing the piano, playing with building materials, and riding a bike. The joy of playing and being interested in so many activities would not be possible unless a child has a healthy and nutritious amount of food. The book encourages parents to prepare and serve healthy foods and children to eat a variety of nutritious meals.
