The Monster Who Ate My Peas by Danny Schnitzlein

5.0

What would you do to avoid eating your vegetables? You might try to feed them to the dog, but what if he didn't want them? Maybe you just moved them around on your plate to make it look like less or hid them in the mashed potatoes. Well, the boy in this sure-to-be-a-classic children's tale will do anything he can do avoid eating his hateful, digusting, stinky peas - even going so far as to make a deal with a MONSTER!

This vibrantly illustrated tale proves that there are worse things than eating your vegetables, like losing your brand new soccer ball, or your shiny new bicycle, or even your poor puppy! A wonderful revelation comes to the boy as he tries to decide if he really wants to lose the things that mean the most to him. This book is a wonderful read for children who need an easy and funny story to read or just need to learn that there can be heavy consequences to not eating their vegetables.
