I Will Never NOT EVER Eat a Tomato

 

 

I have this little sister Lola.

She is small and very funny.

Sometimes, I have to keep an eye on her ...

Sometimes, Mom and Dad ask me to give Lola her dinner.
This is difficult because she is a very fussy eater.

Lola won't eat carrot of course.

She says, "carrots are for rabbits."

I say, "What about peas?"

Lola says, "Peas are too small and too green."

Lola is a fussy eater. 
A very fussy eater who will never ever eat carrots, peas, cauliflowers ... just like my six years old at home, I can name them ALL.

The only difference here is Lola has a very creative brother, Charlie who is playing this imagination game with her in this dinnertime battle.

Charlie turns carrots into orange twiglets from Jupiter, mashed potatoes into cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji, tomatoes into moonsquirters AND green peas into green drops from Greenland. 

These two endearing siblings with boundless imagination turns the dinnertime battle into a Fantasyland.

And I ABSOLUTELY will never NOT EVER eat a TOMATO ...

The CAT in the HAT

The sun did not shine.

It was too wet to play.

So we sat in the house

All that cold, cold, wet day. 

I sat there with Sally.

We sat there, we two.

And I said, "How I wish

We had something to do!" 

So all we could do was to 

Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!

And we did not like it.

Not one little bit.

  

 

The Cat in the Hat is a children's book classic by Dr. Seuss in 1957.

It is the first book featuring this tall, anthropomorphic, mischievous cat, wearing a tall, red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie.

This story is about Sally and her brother are bored in the house one day, on a cold, cold and wet day.

They are sitting by the window, looking out the house with nothing to play.  

Then something went BUMP and made them JUMP! 

There it comes the Cat in the Hat stepping in on the mat and bringing all the FUN!

Dr. Seuss makes reading a joyful journey for every child. Don't let your children miss it!

“Look at ME!
Look at ME!
Look at me NOW!
It is FUN to have FUN
But you have to know HOW.”

Happy Reading EVERYONE!

Eat Your Peas

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. 

What will it take to make Daisy eat peas?

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.

The author, Kes Gray has been called one of the top ten children's authors in the UK by THE INDEPENDENT. 

Eat Your Peas is the first book among the Daisy series, has won the coveted overall prize at the 2001 Children's Book Awards.

Eat Your Peas is available to order online via Book Depository.
