 Definitely not worth 18 dollars!!!! Mar 31, 2007
This is a children's book with about 20 pages of text. The artwork is ridiculous...it resembles something I did in 11th grade health class for STD's. It is a story about a boy and his feeding issues. The OT provided his parents with a NUK to use, and then introduced some new foods gradually.
There. I've saved you 18 dollars.
 Great information for children with oral feeding issues Feb 06, 2007
From Yuck to Yum is a fantastic little book that gives voice to feelings and questions that arise in children with oral sensory processing problems. The pictures are colorful and recognizable. The tone of the narrative is thoughtful, giving a stimulus to child-parent or occupational therapist-child conversations.
The book can be read over and over again as the child tries to make sense of his/her feelings about food. As the child makes progress, there are ideas for foods and mixtures that the child might try with the help of his Mom and/or an occupational therapist working with him.
I would highly recommend this book for parents and occupational therapists to use and share with kids who need to develop a wider range of eating experiences.

A MUST READ! Dec 16, 2006
The author Kathy Hughes does a great job encouraging the discussion of a vastly misunderstood and under treated health concern. Many people think their child is just a picky eater and don't look into whether there is a more serious underlying issue. Kathy, I applaud you for writing this book, thank you!

 An easy read for an easy problem....As if! Dec 15, 2006
This book tells a lovely, simple story of a boy who only eats smooth textured foods and readily learns to incorporate other foods in his diet as part of a program within two months. I only wish! While I am so grateful that this issue is receiving more attention, this book did not bring me a bit closer to knowing how to help my "crunchy" resistant eater. The book, I feel, is a good tool to help a child understand OT and sensory interventions (and others who need a simplified frame). Perhaps, in part, the intervention in this book is designed for a very small child, but otherwise seems quite idealized. In my ideal world, pediatricians would recognize, diagnose and recommend treatment for food texture aversions in the first year of life. In the meantime, Just Take A Bite, by Lori Ernsperger, provides a comprehensive and thorough approach to the matter, but is still better suited for children on the spectrum and for younger ages. I can only hope that someone comes out with a comprehensive program to address eating issues for children with low tone/fine motor issues, with or without other sensory processing issues, who have a related preference for crunchy foods, in the near future. In the meantime, a comprehensive approach to treatment involving OT, psychotherapy, active parenting and perhaps, medication is all that I know might work in the long run.
