I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato


I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato by Lauren Child.
Picture Book Shelves - Lower Level - CHI


Little Lola hates mushrooms, cauliflower, carrots, peas, fish sticks, potatoes, and most of all tomatoes. How will her brother Charlie feed her dinner tonight? He comes up with a clever way of getting Lola to believe that carrots are orange twiglets from Jupiter, and peas are green drops from Greenland. Likewise, fish sticks come from an undersea market, and mashed potatoes are really cloud fluff from Mount Fuji. Soon Lola is happily eating all of her supposedly least favorite foods. The biggest shock is when Lola herself comes up with a way to enjoy the dreaded tomatoes.

I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato by Lauren Child is a funny and enjoyable picture book for all those fussy eaters out there. The illustrations mix different styles including real photography which makes this book a truly "delicious" treat!
