This is a very cute and funny book that shows the unexpectedly silly consequences of not eating your veggies (and feeding them to the dog or hiding them in your sock). I was afraid it would be heavy-handed but it is not at all preachy, and the illustrations make it even more fun.

I discovered this book at the library when my son was 3 years old. We checked it out so many times, that I finally decided to just add it to our home collection. I love reading this book aloud to my kids as much as they love listening to it.

This book is perfect for kids who don't always eat all their vegetables- they will find it funny and easy to relate to! The Lima Bean Monster captures the interest of children who, like Sam, try to be sneaky and find ways around eating their vegetables. Kids in kindergarten through third grade especially would find this book amusing and funny.
