 A MUST-HAVE September 11, 2006

I purchased this book for my [...] peanut-allergic daughter after discovering it at the library. She absolutely LOVES it and has me read it to her again and again. She also brought it to school during "Nutrition Week" and her teacher read it to the class, and also thought it was fabulous. The book realistically addresses the issue of living with peanut allergies, but in a very child-appropriate format. Every grade-school age child should read this book.
Very Helpful June 26, 2006
My five year old son has food allergies and is starting Kindergarten this year. He is the first child at his school to have food allergies and I have been searching at the library for a book to give to his teacher to read to his class to help them understand. I read it myself first and was a bit hesitant to read it to my son because it shows what happens when a child has an allergic reaction (he was one when he had his reactions and obviously doesn't remember). I was afraid he might be scared. When I read it to him, however, he loved it, as did his younger brother who is allergy-free. I think it made my allergic child feel better to see someone else with the same allergies as him. I also think it helped him realize just how important it is for him to not touch peanut butter even if he is being teased. And, yes, I know that at some point in life, he will be teased because of this. This is a great book and I am buying two copies today - one for his class and one for us here at home.

Horrible book. My son is allergic, and I thought this book would be good to have for him. I was wrong! I will never read it to his class. The book has a bully who teases the allergic boy for not being able to make a craft with peanut butter. I feel that the book gives the wrong message. I think it could give kids ideas.

The Peanut Butter Jam is a good book for elementary aged children. I bought it for my three year old son who has food allergies including nuts. He was able to sit through it and understand it but, I think the concepts are a little bit to scary. For all long while we have discussed his allergies and he knows that certain foods make him react. When he was two we visited the local ambulance corps in case he has an anaphalactic reaction and we talk about using an epi pen. The book demonstrates all of that and the emotional aspects of being different and left out from some activities at school.

I loved the story. I read it to my 4 yr old and 2 yr old over and over. My 4 yr old just started school so it is helping her to understand what she may or may not have to do one day in school should the occasion confront her.
