#95 - I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato by Lauren Child


Summary:
Lola is a very fussy eater. One day, after rattling off her long list of despised foods, she ends with the vehement pronouncement, "And I will not ever never eat a tomato." 


Charlie tells Lola that the orange things on the table are not carrots, but "orange twiglets from Jupiter" and peas are in fact "green drops from Greenland." These foods suddenly seem appealing. Lola herself follows her brother's example and asks him to pass the "moonsquirters my favorite," otherwise known as guess what? Tomatoes!

Suggested Activity: The Vegetable Song




(Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")


Carrots, Peas, and Broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me.
For my snack and in my lunch,
Veggie sticks are great to munch.
Carrots, Peas, and Broccoli,
Vegetables are good for me.
