"I started teaching my class of 2nd graders your "Little D's Nutrition Expedition" program yesterday. They are so excited and really got a kick out of "The Royal Food Family." They enjoy the stories and love getting up and moving around to them. They also love the interactive CD-rom you have included. You have really done an excellent job making an exciting unit on nutrition for 2nd graders! Thanks for offering this to me for FREE!! Many thanks."
