 Allie September 29, 2008
This is an excellent book with great illustrations for children. My 4 year old daughter who has a severe nut allergy and her pre school found it very informative as well as when I read it her younger sister even takes note!
 excellent for toddler August 10, 2008
We started reading this to our son when he was 2.5 yrs old. He's now 3 and really enjoys reading it with us. He looks at it like any of his other fun books and its helping us get across the whole peanut allergy concept to him. I especially like that it mentions foods that peanuts "hide" in like M and Ms since that's a food my peanut-allergic son would really like to have and we've had to say no.
Fantastic book for my 2 year old July 9, 2008
My son is 2 1/2 and is allergic to both peanuts and sesame. We purchased this book to help reinforce his allergy and teach him what it means to be allergic. This book became his new favorite toy within minutes of first reading it. He carries it around everywhere and even takes it to school from time to time for his teacher to read to the class. We've had it for 3 months now and he still goes to sleep with it (3 months for a 2 year old is impressive).
Last month, my son had a bad allergic reaction to something he ate at a picnic and needed his epi shot (still not sure what he ate). We were able to soothe him before, during, and after the shot by reminding him about Allie and how she needs a shot sometimes too. This book is such a great tool for us and can't imagine life without it.
Great way to illustrate allergy to young toddlers/preschoolers March 22, 2008
My 2yr old son has severe peanut allergy. He reads this book with me and seems to understand the foods that are available for him to eat. His older sister who is 4yrs old, gets great info from this. She understands the physical issues associated with the peanut allergy he has and now can visualize a little of what could happen if we do not keep him safe. I also have the "Peanut Free Cafe", which both really enjoy reading as well. They also enjoy the "Peter Can't Eat Peanuts" book too.
 Cute book December 18, 2007
This is a cute book, and I think it gets the point across to a small child, but I did have higher hopes for it, so I was a little disappointed. I will keep looking for a book that better explains the allergy to my child, and how he can be proactive in dealing with it. I think this book is maybe better for a very young child who is first learning about his allergy. My child is 2 but I feel like he needs more than this book offers. Still, I think he'll like it.
