This hilarious look at idiomatic expressions will be loved by both children and adults. It is suitable for children age 4 years and upwards. Serge Bloch whips up a scrumptious new concoction for his fans to savour! In this deliciously clever follow-up to "Butterflies in My Stomach and Reach for the Stars" (9781402771293), our young hero and his loyal dog, Roger, tackle another major aspect of life: eating. Mealtime should be a piece of cake, but this finicky eater eats like a bird. That drives his mum bananas because he really should have three square meals a day. What will happen when he dines at the home of a friend whose mum is a real health nut? Maybe he'll discover that variety is the spice of life! Children might find these sayings puzzling at first, but Bloch's witty and wonderful images, which mix whimsical line drawings with photographs of inanimate objects, make everything clear and will leave readers of all ages pleased as punch.
