Title: Jelly Belly
Review: I think "Jelly Belly" has an important lesson about balance. Ned has to learn how to balance eating with moderation not eating too much, or too often. He has to balance this healthy lifestyle with the influences all around him including eating a different meal in front of his family, who can eat foods with oil and fat. He has to balance his need to diet with not hurting his grandmother's feelings, because when he can't eat the treats she makes him, she feels really sad and like Ned doesn't love her. She and Ned BOTH need to learn about his new diet and understand that, although it is tough to stick to, it will make him feel better. Many kids have something that makes them different and other people just don't understand. That's what this story is really about not just about dieting.
