Synopsis

An instant New York Times bestseller! From the bestselling author of Go the **** to Sleep and healthy eating advocate Camila Alves McConaughey comes a whimsical role reversal in which picky eater parents are confronted by their three kids, with hilarious results

These three kids are determined to get their parents to put down the ice cream, cake, and chicken fried steak to just try one bite of healthy whole foods. But it's harder than it looks when these over-the-top gagging, picky parents refuse to give things like broccoli and kale a chance. Kids will love the jaunty rhyme that's begging to be read aloud and the opportunity to be way smarter—and healthier—than their parents.

Not a fan. The message is making a deal to get the grownups to eat their veggies, and in the end when they do and they like them? They are rewarded with donut holes... Not a great message, is it? And the story itself isn't funny or fun to read. Two stars because I liked the illustrations a lot.......more

We get it, fast food isn’t good for you, but this story could borderline make a child feel guilty for eating it. I also am not a fan of the bribing message it gives. “If you eat this, t......more
