It was dinnertime again and Daisy knew just what her mom was going to say, before she even said it.
"Eat your peas," said Mom.
Daisy looked down at the little green balls that were ganging up on her plate.
"I don't like peas," said Daisy.
Mom sighed one of her usual sighs.
"If you eat your peas, you can have dessert," said Mom.
"I don't like peas," said Daisy.
Mom promised dessert, a later bedtime, no bath, and then, in increasing desperation, a baby elephant, a chocolate factory and much, much more.
This dinnertime battle of wills is sure to amuse children and parents like myself. It shows the power of vegetables to turn a meal into an epic struggle. A funny outcome and determined little Daisy make this book super fun and entertaining to read.
