Tales For Very Picky Eaters

If you know a picky eater like I do, you may both get a chuckle out of this book. My picky eater insists on reading this book over and over. It contains five stories, all revolving around yucky things to eat: disgusting broccoli, smelly lasagna, repulsive milk, lumpy oatmeal and slimy eggs.

The book involves one boy (aka the picky eater), his dog, and his dad. In each story the dad finds ingenious ways to get the boy to eat his food. Prechewed gum, dirt, sweaty socks, basement trolls and rat circuses-they are all in here. There are clever cautions about why it might be good not to drink your milk or what happens if you don't eat growing oatmeal.

The book is silly and fun. The stories are short but both clever and hilarious.-sc-
