Things get quite exciting at meal times when a boy has to eat his peas. While his parents watch his toes curl and his chair tip back they seem strangely calm, but then again they have seen the veggie monster before. This is a witty and diverting meal time drama that will strike a cord in houses everywhere where anything green seems to inspire equal acts of monsterish behaviour.
