Picture Book of the Month: I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato

April 2009

I WILL NOT EVER NEVER EAT A TOMATO
Written & Illustrated by Lauren Child
Publisher: Orchard Books, 32 pages

This Charlie and Lola book is particularly fun to read aloud. Lola is a fussy eater so Charlie plays a "trick" on her. In fact, he proves to be an excellent big brother with creative ideas and a good grasp of the basics of reverse psychology.

Child's collage style illustrations are a visual treat and the veggies (and fruit) look delicious - even if you're one of those who swear that they'll never eat a tomato.
