For the finicky eater in your household, Night of the Veggie Monster by George McClements is sure to show your child that their not alone in their dislike of vegetables. The young boy in this book describes what it is like to be faced with three (yes, just three) peas on his dinner plate. The boy squirms and wiggles once he puts the pea into his mouth, thus beginning his transformation into a veggie monster. Once the boy conquers his fear of peas, he faces another challenge the next night with another green vegetable. The book ends with plenty of room for discussion about the foods a child may dislike. A quick read for younger children. This book can be found in the Easy section under E MCC.
