Do you have a picky eater in your home? Have you ever made a special meal for that chid who won't eat anything else? If you do than you will relate to the mother in this story. She tirelessly makes special meals for each of her pernisky eaters until she's worn to the bone. This hilarious tale is told in delightful rhyming verse. The illustrations are charming and full of so many details that you'll notice something new every time you read the story.
It all starts with the first born Peter whose milk had to be the "proper temperature". Then came Lucy who would only drink homemade lemonde, Jack who prefered homemade applesauce, Mac whose oatmeal had to be lump-free, Mary Lou who would only eat fresh baked bread and finally came the twins who liked their eggs, but Flo liked poached eggs and Fran liked fried.
The surprising turn of events at the end of the story has everybody happy with the same meal, but you'll have to read it to find out how this comes about. This is another book that I don't mind reading to my children again and again and they love to hear.
