Description
What's for dinner? How about skizzle klumps n' gizzardlumps? A hilarious look at mealtime with a pair of persnickety eaters, in the most fun made-up language ever!
Would you like a bite of frizzle frazzle hotchy potch? How about a plate of mushy gushy bloobarsh? NERP, says our hero. Nerpity nerpity nerp! (That's "NO" to you!) With nonsense language and humorously expressive illustrations, this delightfully silly picture book tells the story of two picky eaters-one child, one pet-of indiscriminate species, a multitude of supposedly tasty goodies, and one surprising solution to a familiar childhood situation.

Reviews
"Reul's clever use of nonsensical monster vocabulary plays very well against the expressive green and yellow countenances of her charming and sympathetic characters. Even the scaly pet's personality pops, especially when eying the foul contents of its food bowl. The creativity of the menu-both the names and the neon images-is half the fun of this homage to dinnertime chaos. Will persnickety children drool after their own 'squishalicious' masterpieces? 'Yerpetty yerpetty yerpy yerp!'" -Kirkus (Starred review)
