Description/Notes
CA 2012 USDA Approved NE Materials Every Tuesday night, while his parents try to enjoy their dinner, a boy turns into a monster the moment a pea touches his lips. When just a single pea touches the lips of this determined vegetable hater, an enormous battle of war and peas begins. But our hero doesn’t just cry, whine, or refuse to swallow. He turns into a VEGGIE MONSTER! That is until—gulp!—he accidentally swallows the pea, and realizes that maybe vegetables aren’t so bad after all. At least until broccoli night comes around. With inventive mixed-media illustrations and a short, snappy text that combines a child’s dinner-time drama with a hilarious parents’-eye-view, George McClements has created a wry and funny story that just might inspire a few veggie monsters out there to give peas a chance.
