When Sammy Met Sally

When Sammy Met Sally - A healthy eating resource from Safefood. (www.safefood.eu)

Sammy was a scavenger. Sally loved fresh food. Sally taught Sammy to love fresh carrots. Together they were fitter (not fatter).
This booklet aims to increase a child’s experience of healthy food from an early age and encourages a positive attitude towards a healthy diet. You and the children can decide together which end of the book to start with - Sally’s story or Sammy’s story. The idea is that you then read the other story, and finish with the fun, fold-out section in the middle, where Sammy realises the error of his ways and devotes himself to a lifetime of healthy lunches with his new friend Sally!
