Gregory, the Terrible Eater

We all know children who are fussy eaters, but in this story it is Gregory's parents who eat junk food (literally) and are worried by their son's insistence on fruit, veg., eggs, fish... 'Good stuff like that', Gradually they tempt him away from such fare, but are too successful: essential household articles start to disappear, and something has to be done...

There is a sense of fun in Aruego and Dewey's distinctive illustrations which children immediately recognise: they will bring to this book expectations of visual humour which will not be disappointed; the poor quality paper means that some of the sparkle is lost though.
