Fabulous story, but the pop up tabs don't work well at all	Customer Rating:
Get the non-pop up, the story is really wonderful and funny - not a boring read for mom and dad. I'm very disappointed, though; I love this book and we used to get it all the time from the library (non-pop up). We could only find the pop up hardcover online and it doesn't work well at all. The flow is hard to follow, too, and I'm always missing part of the story as I read, and having to go back.

Great book, nieces (5 and 2.5) loved it

Customer Rating:

Charlie has to look after his little sister and give her dinner. Unfortunately, Lola is a very picky eater, and we have to sit through the entire list of things she won't eat. ESPECIALLY not tomatoes. So he decides to "play a good trick on her" and tell her that all these foods she "won't eat" are really *different* and exotic foods that she's sure to love. (Are you sure you don't want these green drops? I'll eat them, then, they're very rare!) Predictably (to us grown-ups), she gobbles all these foods up, and then turns the table on her brother by asking for the tomatoes (These? Are you sure you want THESE?) declaring that they're "moonsquirters" and saying "You didn't think they were tomatoes, did you Charlie?" What's interesting is that this technique is actually recommended for both child and adult picky eaters. Oh, not the trickery, but the use of pleasant sounding names to make foods sound appealing. (And really, Lola wasn't tricked at all, was she?)

Cute Book	Customer Rating:
Cute illustrations and clever text. May not change the mind of a dedicated vegetable-hater, but they'll enjoy it.

One of the Cutest Pop-Up Books Ever	Customer Rating:
I love this book. It is so cute and even convinces my three-year old to eat foods she doesn't want to!

Outrageously Imaginative!	Customer Rating:
This book should be read by fussy readers everywhere -- and I have a few adults I know who belong in that category! The illustrations are delightful, showing pictures of the food against interesting textures and colors. This book will have a positive effect on the fussiest eater. Funny, heartwarming and highly recommended!
