Description
Description
Even monsters need to eat their vegetables! This wry and funny story might inspire a few veggie monsters to give peas a chance.
When a single pea touches the lips of this determined vegetable hater, our hero doesn't cry, whine, or refuse to swallow. He turns into a VEGGIE MONSTER! Ready to smash the chairs! Ready to tip the table! Ready to . . . GULP . . . down his peas? With inventive mixed-media illustrations and a short, snappy text that combines a child's dinnertime drama with a hilarious parents'-eye-view, this is the perfect book to read with kids to get them to eat their vegetables.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"For a storytime feast, serve up this funny book with Lauren Child's I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato and Amy Krouse Rosenthal's Little Pea." --School Library Journal
"This will have a wide audience of giggling, understanding eaters." --BCCB "The illustrations have a simple look that goes with the pared-down text, the perspectives and dramatic effect reminiscent of Mo Willems's Pigeon books." --Kirkus Reviews
