Pros: Great illustrations! Fun to read! Children love it!

A useful sub-genre of children's books; books for fussy eaters of which my daughter is one. Nearly every parent has a child or two who goes through that stage of testing her power by refusing certain foods and being exasperatingly fussy.This one is for you! I love the kooky illustrations and the typeface is novel for a child beginning to read, spices up the story.My kids loved it and so did I;but don't expect anything to sort out your stroppy child's eating disorder, it all just adds to the attention! If your daughter is obsessed with food and not eating it why feed your joint obsession/power game? Buy her a book about something ELSE more interesting instead?!
