What to expect
It's dinnertime at Oskar's house, and his parents have lots of luscious suggestions: chicken skewers? A peanut stew? Maybe he'd like a shrimp ragout?
But Oskar would prefer something off the menu—he wants to eat his brother!
Hélène Gaudy's tale is a charming read-aloud packed to the gills with wordplay that's perfect for bedtime.
"An extremely silly book that is reminiscent of Maurice Sendak … Oskar is a picky eater, but there's no way he could be so picky that he'd only want to eat his brother … right? Young readers will laugh in delight and some will commiserate with Oskar's lack of interest in food, but all will love the rollicking rhyme and the absurdity of the premise!"—Tildy Lutts, Belmont Books
