Serge Bloch whips up a scrumptious new concoction for his fans to savour! In this deliciously clever follow-up to Butterflies in My Stomach and Reach for the Stars, our young hero and his loyal dog, Roger, tackle another major aspect of life: eating. Mealtime should be a piece of cake, but this finicky eater eats like a bird. That drives his mum bananas because he really should have three square meals a day. What will happen when he dines at the home of a friend whose mum is a real health nut? Maybe hell discover that variety is the spice of life! Children might find these sayings puzzling at first, but Blochs witty and wonderful images, which mix whimsical line drawings with photographs of inanimate objects, make everything clear and will leave readers of all ages pleased as punch.

Eat Your Idioms... and Your Veggies, Too!

Have a picky eater? Want to teach idioms? Then You Are What You Eat: and Other Mealtime Hazards is The Book for you!
Serge Bloch crafts a fun tale about a picky eater while teaching us about idioms through many colorful examples. I'm a big fan of picture books in high school and college classes - a great way to build vocabulary and background knowledge through reader-friendly text that is often sophisticated beyond the experience of our youngest readers, yet 'fun' for older readers. Give book-talks about picture books for your older students and they'll be hooked!!
This cute book, with its diminuitive size, engaging story, creative artwork & illustrations, and MANY examples of idioms, has earned a spot in both my classroom collection for independent reading AND my instructional toolbox when teaching vocabulary, exploring figurative language with students, and supporting ESL learners.
