Product Description:
All the students at Nutley School love peanut butter, especially Simon. For Simon, peanut butter is essential. But then new student Grant comes to school. Grant is allergic to peanut butter and can't sit near anyone eating it. Should the principal forbid peanut butter in the cafeteria? What will the students of Nutley School do if they can't have peanut butter for lunch?
Simon comes up with a clever idea. The school can have a peanut-free café! It will be a fun place to eat and watch movies, where the only admission is a peanut-free lunch. The other students gladly give up their peanut-butter lunches to be in the new café with Grant, but can Simon give up the food he loves the most?

I do not have a nut allergy, nor am I related to someone who does have one. But, I came across this book while perusing picture books at my library.
I appreciate the author's intentions to help bring awareness to children with severe allergies, in a child-friendly manner. However, I was not pleased with the unrealistic solution presented to this situation: Exclude non-allergic kids from special movie lunches, because they have an affinity for peanut butter. Really? In order to make ... Read More

Maybe recommend for non-allergic kids. Not recommended for allergic kids. I thought this would be a fun book for my 5 year old who is allergic to peanut. I also thought it could help prepare him for school. This was not the right book for him. It made him sad that the other children were so hungry because they couldn't have peanut butter and that the main character was so sad about not having peanut butter. Like the other reviewer said, this is "fiction" but the solution to help kids want to ... Read More

although i appreciate any attempt to help classmates understand nut allergies, i felt this book focused so much on the child who loved peanut butter, that it completely ignored the trials of a nut allergic child. my 5-year-old was confused after i read this to him as he didn't feel it related to him with his potentially fatal nut allergy. also, he felt he was missing out on the joys of peanut butter because the character "simon" adored pb so much.

I LOVE this book. This is an entertaining story with wonderful and bright illustrations. I have 2 kids with peanut allergies, and it is trying to find stories that deal with the social inevitabilities that come with a food allergy. This book is about a child who gives up his favorite peanut butter in order to partake in a special lunch routine (created by kids) with a peanut-allergic friend. If only our children's schools were so open and creative! I not only bought it for my kids, I am purchasing ... Read More

The author does a good job of illustrating how a peanut allergy may affect others and offers up but one solution to the issues that arise. This is one of the better illustrated books on this topic with lively detail, colorful pages, and an upbeat text.
I also feel compelled to adddress some of the other posts. Peanut butter is not, in fact, and ingredient in many, most, or some chili recipes. Peanut butter is, in fact, an ingredient in a *few* chili recipes. A quick search of www.cooksrecipes.com ... Read More
