The use of picture books is considered a potentially effective means of dietary education. However, much remains unknown about the use of picture books for this purpose at nursery schools. Therefore, we conducted a postal questionnaire survey of nursery schools in the Tokyo ward area（480 schools）to determine their specific uses of picture books. Responses were obtained from 184 schools. The results showed that picture books were read aloud as a method of dietary education at more than 80% of the schools. A dietitian participated in only 26.0% of the picture book readings, which were performed mainly by nursery school teachers. The readings by nursery school teachers were performed as part of routine childcare at the schools. Although some responses indicated that the readings were performed by a dietitian, in such rare cases, the readings were performed based on a dietary education plan rather than as part of routine childcare.
