A fun way to get picky young eaters to eat their vegetables.

What do monsters eat?

The waitress in this restaurant just doesn’t have a clue.
Monsters don’t eat broccoli!
How could she think we do?

In this rollicking picture book written by Barbara Jean Hicks and illustrated by Sue Hendra, monsters insist they don’t like broccoli. They’d rather snack on tractors or a rocket ship or two, or tender trailer tidbits, or a wheely, steely stew. But boy do those trees they’re munching on look an awful lot like broccoli. Maybe vegetables aren’t so bad after all!

This hilarious book will have youngsters laughing out loud and craving healthy monster snacks of their own.

Praise for Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli

Praise for Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli:

"With a toe-tapping beat and loud, splashy spreads, this paean to mealtime chaos will charm small monsters everywhere."--Publishers Weekly

"The vibrant gouache illustrations capture the silly playfulness of the text as goofy, rounded, toothy monsters delight in their odd meals in a variety of settings. A fine serving for storytime."--Kirkus Reviews
