Night of the Veggie Monster by George McClements

Night of the Veggie Monster by George McClements
This is a short but sweet book about a boy who overexaggerates in his reaction to eating peas (or any vegetable for that matter). It also has the view from the parents of the boy. They have somewhat of a sarcastic tone which is humorous. They comment on his "performance" of turning into the veggie monster and applauding especially "the toe curling" effect peas have on him. The author also uses real pictures of food as compared to the sketch -looking drawings of the people and tables. I think this book would be a good one to introduce to young kids about vegetables and turn the whole process into a somewhat humorous one.
