Even monsters need to eat their vegetables! This wry and funny story might inspire a few veggie monsters to give peas a chance.

When a single pea touches the lips of this determined vegetable hater, our hero doesn't cry, whine, or refuse to swallow. He turns into a VEGGIE MONSTER!

Ready to smash the chairs! Ready to tip the table! Ready to . . . GULP . . . down his peas?

With inventive mixed-media illustrations and a short, snappy text that combines a child's dinnertime drama with a hilarious parents'-eye-view, this is the perfect book to read with kids to get them to eat their vegetables.
