The wolfish little boy in "Valdemar's Peas" doesn't like them either.
Valdemar and his little sister sit down to dinner with Dad.
Dad serves up Valdemar's favourite - fish fingers, but like all good parents Dad can't resist shoving some veg onto the plate as well - in the form of Valdemar's least favourite food.
Peas.
BLECHHHHHHH!!!!
While Valdemar's little sister finishes her food up very quickly, Valdemar won't get a chocolate lolly until he's cleared his plate - so the sneaky and sly little wolf comes up with a brilliant idea - and he might just enlist little sister's help for this plan.
It's a rather charming little book this, and perfect for parents who have their own fussy eaters at home. Though as C pointed out, Valdemar really shouldn't have been allowed that lolly - and his manners are pretty shocking regardless!
"Valdemar's Peas" by Maria Jonsson is out now, published by Gecko Press (kindly supplied for review).
