Product Description

Review
Not for the squeamish! For children who like their food familiar and their rhymes revolting. (Sunday Times )

Product Description
Freya has an appetite as fine as can be – until one day she declares, "Your dhal and rice are just not nice." She spurns baked beans, sausages, and soon she's very thin indeed. Mum, in despair, phones Grandma Clare. "We'll sort her," says Grandma, "the fussy little beast." So off Freya goes for a fabulous feast – and a lesson she will never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fussy Freya , 23 Mar 2009
By HARRISON-BULLETT "Clare H-B" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We love Fussy Freya. What a fantastic, funny, beautifully illustrated cracker of a childrens' book. We laugh each time we read it (and we've read it a good hundred times) and my little boy adores following the cat throughout the story to see if he gets Freya's leftovers or not. Our little one isn't quite at the stage of refusing food and I'm hoping this book will mean we skip over that phase.. but if we don't, we shall indeed re-read and re-read Fussy Freya! The book's catchphrase "not a little, not a jot!" has become a common cheer in our family and we impatiently await more adventures from Freya.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Fussy Freya, 20 Jan 2009
By A reader (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Fussy Freya is a delight. My niece and nephew who have been known to turn up their nose at rice and dhal and sausages too thoroughly enjoyed it. It has great humour and characters and gorgeous illustrations and is one of those books you want to read again and again. If you've got problem eaters or kids who just want a laugh or even a lovely rhyming text this is one for you. Judy, London

5.0 out of 5 stars Warthog, mashed monkey, and grilled giraffe, 19 Jan 2009
Possibly a more interesting menu than anything in this- Jamie's Ministry of Food: Anyone Can Learn to Cook in 24 Hours and I found this because Katharine Quarmby has herself had a lot to do with good food in schools- and it's great. An hysterically funny, beautifully written, and perfectly illustrated exploration of how to get the little ones to eat what's put in front of them. Parents, grandparents (it features the moderately terrifying Grandma Clare, fearsome in the face of fussiness), and children will all appreciate the humour and attention to detail represented in this superior addition to children's books. You'll give it five stars too, or I'll eat the mashed monkey...
