DESCRIPTION:
All rights reserved. When the "monsters" eat giant maple trees, though, they discover they have been fooled into eating the dreaded broccoli. Apparently, neither do monsters. However, the monsters and the backgrounds are done in similar hues so that the creatures sometimes blend into the scenery. From School Library Journal PreSchool-K—Grown-ups know that kids generally don't like eating broccoli. The next spread reveals that the monsters are children who have fallen for that age-old adult trick of calling broccoli "trees."

They’d rather snack on tractors or a rocket ship or two, or tender trailer tidbits, or a wheely, steely stew. What do monsters eat?The waitress in this restaurant just doesn’t have a clue.Monsters don’t eat broccoli!How could she think we do?In this rollicking picture book written by Barbara Jean Hicks and illustrated by Sue Hendra, monsters insist they don’t like broccoli. But boy do those trees they’re munching on look an awful lot like broccoli. Maybe vegetables aren’t so bad after all!This hilarious book will have youngsters laughing out loud and craving healthy monster snacks of their own.
Mary L. said Five Stars. I use this for storytimes. Sends a slightly mis-communicated message. Mor and Tookie The pictures are really nice but I really don't like the story. Basically, the entire book says how monsters don't eat broccoli, but they do eat other things like trucks and trees and whatnot. They never really clarify that when the monsters are eating trees, those are actually broccoli. I think it can encourage kids to say that they don't eat foods, rather than help them get over their picky eating.I do still read this book to my son (though very rarely) but I add in my own com. Review from [] The book jacket truly sets the tone for this book - funky monsters in vivid colors cavort wildly across the pages. Add to that a fun rhyming text, and you have yourself a royally great selection! Not to mention the little lesson on nutrition that is slyly tucked in around the fun. Really, you don't need to mention that part to your kids.These monsters enjoy all sorts of snacks, from tractors to rocket ships. They gobble up cars by the dozen and have trailers for dessert.
