Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Lola will not eat peas. In fact, she won't eat carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, eggs, sausages, cauliflower, cabbage or baked beans. And she will absolutely not eat a tomato.
When Charlie discovers that if peas are green drops from Greenland, and that carrots are orange twigets from Jupiter, even Lola is tempted to clear her plate.
I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato is an hilarious book that picks up a familiar childhood theme and takes it to the extreme. The imaginative presentation of the text, combined with the mish-mash collage of Lauren Child's illustrations brings an everyday dilemma to rip-roaring life and offers an ingenious solution to a problem that can turn into a daily battle between parent and child.
I Will Not Ever Never Eat A Tomato is the best fun a child will ever have at supper time. Age range: 3 to 5--Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
"The book uses a mix of quirky illustrations and photography, and a truly imaginative storyline." Junior Book of the Month; "This book lifts Lauren Child's reputation as a fresh talent ever higher. She's so good, it's exhilarting." The Independent; "Innovative illustrations and text." - The Bookseller" --The Independent, The Bookseller

As the first of the Charlie and Lola books, 'I will not ever never eat a tomato' has to be one of the most read childrens books in our house. My son loved the pictures, colours and sound of the story before he could talk. His response to the story was always so positive - we found ourselves reading it most evenings. However, once he could specifically ask for it, this became every evening without fail, for some time!
Any parent will tell you this is not uncommon - children lock into books and love repetition - the big '5 star' difference here is that I enjoyed reading it every night too! As my son developed his speech and understanding, they way we read the story developed too. He now 'reads' (like Lola - from memory) along with me - regularly shouting out his favourite parts about not eating tomatoes!
Similarly, the benefits have not been just his involvement with books. The story revolves around Charlie having to feed his little sister, a very fussy eater, her dinner. Lola doesn't like anything - particularly peas, fishfingers, potatoes, carrots and of course tomatoes - so Charlie must find ingenious ways to convince his sister to try the different foods. For instance, peas become 'green drops from Greenland' and are 'incredibly rare' peaking Lola's interest in the food.
This has worked an absolute treat with feeding time for my son too - he wants to try all the food Lola eats!
This book actually and easily promotes a healthy diet and a healthy mind, with beautiful, creative and very colourful artwork!
Can't recommend it enough!

Charlie is minding Lola, and Lola doesn't want to eat peas, carrots, sausages and all other normal food. . Charlie goes to great trouble to explain to Lola that peas are not really peas they are green drops from Jupiter, the carrots are orange twiglets from somewhere in space and so it goes until Lola really has tried everything except the tomatoes. But Lola no longer believes they are tomatoes - they are moon squirters.
Wonderful little story , you have to love Charlie's patience with his little sister.

As many parents know, "green drops from Greenland" can sound ever so much more attractive than plain old green peas. Clever Charlie manages to get her little sister Lola to enthusiastically eat a nutritious meal. Cute collage-type illustrations. My 7 year old son read it, and came to tell me how funny he thought it was. I think so too...
