Too wrinkly, too squishy, too fruity, too fishy! It's lunchtime, but our fussy little boy doesn't like a single item on his plate. What is a boy to eat? Reidy's playful rhyming text is once again brought to life by Leloup's bold art. Parents (and children) will love the boy's hilarious antics and the reassuring joy at the end of all that kitchen-table drama.
