A great way to teach your children prioritization. As a child, I have many memories of being force-fed rancid food from my parents, and so I have a special place in my heart for this book. It teaches children how to refuse things that they don't want (which will come in handy when they are offered drugs), and how to try new things (by her eating the food so her brother can't have any, she discovers a new favorite food, thus showing her that trying new food/ideas is never a bad thing)! I consider both to be essential moral values, and great notions for a kid to understand!
Since I purchased this story, I have found it be an essential part in raising my children! In fact, My youngest child's first word was "blue" because of how often he's read it! I recommend all parents add this to their home library this instant!!
too much snotty attitude This book is a drag. After I read it I threw it away, without reading it to my kids. Allegra is rude and snotty about the food offered to her (blue pancakes). She won't eat it until her parents threaten to give it to her brother. Then she selfishly eats it, only so he can't have it. She finds out she likes it. However, she maintains the rude snotty attitude for the next thing. I would prefer a book that teaches right attitudes and manners, instead of one that models rotten ones.
