The Seven Silly Eaters

AUTHOR: Mary Ann Hoberman
ILLUSTRATOR: Marla Frazee

From the Publisher:

A funny picture book about solving—finally!—a growing family’s picky-eater problem!

Peter wants only milk, Lucy won’t settle for anything but homemade lemonade, and Jack is stuck on applesauce…

Each new addition to the household brings a new demand for a special meal. What’s a mother to do?

“A highly comic rhyming romp that surprisingly (and nicely) twists into a birthday story.” —School Library Journal

“Hoberman’s riotous tale is spun like a Seussian fable.” —New York Times Book Review

Leah’s Thoughts:

This book is pure delight! It’s rhythmic, chaotic, and full of heart. Mrs. Peters, with her seven picky eaters, embodies the patience of every parent who’s ever catered to a child’s unique food preference. The rhymes are a joy to read aloud, and Marla Frazee’s illustrations capture the beautiful messiness of large family life.
