Daniel Has an Allergy (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) Paperback – Picture Book, December 12, 2017

Love the book! My son has an anaphylactic allergy to wheat and May is the Food Allergy Awareness Month and I wanted to read a book about allergies to raise awareness among his classmates, and this book was perfect. They loved it. I like how the story explains allergic reactions in a simple way and what should and shouldn't be done. It’s also perfect for reading to your child if they have any allergies and you want them to be more aware of them.

This is a great book to help introduce food allergies to little ones. My toddler who is ANA to dairy and eggs, among other allergies, really enjoys it. It is used as a step towards understanding so he can become more independent. We love it.

We have been reading this book (and watching the episode) since my littlest was about 2 to help her learn about her food allergies. It also helped her older brother understand. We take this into her classroom every year during National Allergy Awareness Week to share info with her preschool peers too. AMAZING book for teaching young kids. Not scary, and teaches good generic rules to start the conversation.

Two of my kids have anaphylactic food allergies. This was a helpful book for my 4-year-old who doesn't have allergies to to understand why her little brother can't have certain foods. I'm sure it'll be helpful when he's old enough to read it also.

I feel like this was great for teaching toddlers with allergies.Daniel has an allergy to peaches but it shows most of the top 8 allergies in a circle so we were able to cover some of the allergies my kid was allergic to and she loves reading it and pointing out what she cannot have. It makes for great intro to help go over in the fridge what they cannot have.Book is thick

This book really helped open up a dialogue with my 4 year old about his allergies. He is my only child and no one in our family has suffered from food allergies, so I don't have much guidance on how to approach the topic with my child. This book helped both of us talk to each other about it, and it is probably also great for non-food allergic kids to learn so they can best take care of their friends who do have allergies.

This is a decent book for helping a young child understand food allergies. I think it's a bit more appropriate for a child who doesn't have food allergies than a child who does especially one with an IgE mediated allergy because the content is not so realistic. For example, Daniel casually goes to the doctor's office when he's having a reaction. There is no mention of the an epipen. It also describes the food allergy as his body 'not liking the food' which I don't think is so helpful for distinguishing food allergies from food preferences for young kids. And the food in the book is peaches which is not so common. The most useful part of the book are the three safety tips for kids at the end and it's definitely a good introduction to discussing food allergies with kids.

Books are a great way to explain difficult things to children, and allergy books for small children are in short supply. This book is great. It’s clear, and the back page is great for talking about my child’s specific allergies. She can now answer me when I ask if she has any allergies, and can identify her allergies by name and image. She is two, for reference, and started identifying them just before age two so I would say this is a really great book for really small children!
