Book Description

Publication Date: 18 Oct 2007 | Series: Charlie and Lola
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.

But when Charlie explains that peas are actually green drops from Greenland, and that carrots are orange twiglets from Jupiter, even Lola is tempted to clear her plate.

An innovative and fun-filled look at the problem of fussy eating, I Will Not Never Ever Eat a Tomato is guaranteed to make dinner time fun.

This utterly special 10th anniversary edition of the first ever Charlie and Lola book comes with a free four-panel frieze - perfect for any fan's bedroom wall!

Winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal

Amazon 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

5.0 out of 5 stars I will not ever never eat a tomato 17 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Charlie has a little sister called Lola and, like many small children, Lola has a long list of foods that she doesn't like. So, when Charlie has to feed her dinner, he resorts to tricking her into eating things that she will not eat - ever! Great illustrations, fantastic characters and a situation that all parents (and children) can identify with. My four year old son absolutely adores the story and is now more willing to try food that he would never touch before - it was worth buying the book just for that! I really like Lauren Child's characters - not too cute, vibrant and enthusiastic. My son requests this story more than any other and really loves the author's other books too - thank you for something different!

4.0 out of 5 stars ...Or how to get children to eat their food 27 Feb 2005
By "ejordan68"
Format:Paperback
Charlie's sister Lola is a very fussy eater. She will *not* eat peas, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and most other foods.

In this story, Charlie is left in charge of Lola at dinner time. He tricks her into eating by pretending that carrots are actually 'orange twiglets from Jupiter', etc. In this way, he manages to get Lola to eat all her food, even her moonsquirters (tomatoes).

I really enjoyed this book and think that mums and dads could copy these tricks for their children!

5.0 out of 5 stars Captured my nephews imagination from the first page! 28 Jan 2002
By caroline@snewin.co.uk
Format:Paperback
As I was babysitting my 4 year old nephew at Christmas, and he is a fussy eater, I thought this would be a good 'story for bedtime'. I must admit when I previewed it before his visit I thought some of the illustrations were a little odd, but these 'oddities' were the parts that drew his attention the most. The author obviously knows what's going on in a childs mind. It made my babysitting an extremely enjoyable experience, so much so that I'm doing it again very soon, with the help of the next book entitled 'I am not sleepy and I will not go to bed'. Keep them coming please Lauren!

I love this book for its wonderful imagination. It is popular with my grand daughter too. Hasn't made her eat everything but perhaps it might help.
