I will not ever Never eat a tomato

Hot on the heels of her successful Clarice bean, That's Me, comes another witty look at family life from Child. There are only two characters this time. Charlie has the unenviable task of finding something that his very fussy little sister will eat. But he is up to it. Lola may not like carrots, but what if these carroty looking things were really orange twiglets from the planet Jupiter? Child dramatises the battle of wits with economy and skill, using a collage of drawn cut outs, photographs and fabric or paper backgrounds. Carrots, peas and fish fingers loom large and photographically realistic on the page, while Charlie's beguiling flights of fancy take us to 'cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji' and 'the supermarket under the sea'. Suitable for a child like Lola or Charlie, say from 3-8 years old, this charming tale takes a situation that every child and parent will recognise and transforms it with the magic of imagination and humour.
