This is one of my two-and-half-year-old son's favorites, and one of mine too. (It always helps to enjoy a book your child wants to hear hundreds of times.) In the beginning, Mrs. Peters doesn't mind trying to get her persnickety son's milk "the proper temperature." "And when his milk spilled on the floor, she patiently prepared some more." As more children arrive, they each want something different to eat, and the ever-pregnant mother tries to accomodate them, despite her growing exhaustion. The "eaters" go from "silly" to "foolish" to "fussy" to "persnickety." The pictures are wonderful, detailed, and realistic, showing an utterly chaotic, but loving, home full of happy kids. The baskets of laundry grow with every child, and lots of familiar toys are scattered everywhere. (My son likes to point out the ones he has.) The Seven Silly Eaters is an utterly charming book.
Format:Hardcover
I have had this book a long time and I just love it! It is fun to read and you can never get bored of it. My whole family loves it and I will definately buy another version, maybe hardcover, as mine is starting to break, because of all the use it has had! I love it to pieces. It has always and will be a very special bookto me. Buy it! It is amazing. And I actually just used a quote out of it for a birthday card! That's how good it is.
If you have a choice between this and another children's book, buy this one!!!

My 2 1/2 and 4 year olds were so inspired by this book, they decided to make their own "pink and plump and perfect cake". With Dad's help they mixed many items (some not so traditional, like soy sauce!) together and baked it. Amazingly, it was GOOD! This creatively written book brought out their inventiveness and willingness to try new ideas and see "what if...". A wonderful story.

Quite entertaining!
The 7 children in the family sure keep mom on her toes with their very unusual eating habits. I enjoyed reading the story as much as my 7 year old enjoyed listening. A Fun Book! Read more
