Reviews

"The Hobans have done it again: a sly text attacking a real juvenile problem and attractive illustrations. Highly recommended." -- Kirkus Reviews"Makes its point for fussy eaters ... gently, amusingly, and most effectively." -- ALA Booklist"Frances discovers, in her own winsome way, that variety really is the spice of mealtimes." -- Publishers Weekly
