Review
James is a very picky eater. He thinks broccoli is disgusting, lumpy oatmeal makes him gag, mushroom lasagna smells funny, milk is repulsive, and he won’t eat slimy eggs! But James’ dad reminds him how all those foods really aren’t that bad and how much, much worse it could be. This colorful short chapter book is a perfect way to realize that broccoli is great compared to fine dirt, gum chewed a thousand times, or very sweaty socks. Schneider does an excellent job of explaining to very picky eaters in a fun, imaginative way, that some foods really aren’t that bad. This book could be read aloud or used as a elementary reading book. Highly recommended. Lillian Stevens, Centennial Library Intern, Cedarville University
