Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical twist, monsters plan to feast on whiny children but can't agree on the perfect dish. Salad, cake, and burgers all fail due to culinary mishaps. Just as they settle on cucumber sandwiches, the children slip away, leaving the monsters hungry and the kids wiser. Will the lesson stick, or will the monsters get another chance?

From the publisher

This cautionary tale about whiny children being eaten by monsters is upended when the monsters cannot decide how best to prepare their meal. A whiny child salad doesn’t work because there’s paprika in the dressing. A whiny child cake won’t do because the flour spills all over the floor. Whiny child burgers are out of the question because the grill is too hard to light. When the persnickety monsters finally decide that whiny child cucumber sandwiches are the perfect solution, their whiny children have escaped. At least the children have learned their lesson…for now.
