Bookroo's summary

Dinner time turns into a hilarious adventure as a child and their pet confront a menu of bizarre dishes like skizzle klumps and frizzle frazzle. With each 'nerp'—a firm 'no'—they reject the peculiar offerings. Will they find a solution to their picky eating dilemma, or will the nonsense language and whimsical illustrations lead them to an unexpected culinary discovery? Dive into this playful tale where mealtime becomes a delightful challenge.

From the publisher

What’s for dinner? How about skizzle klumps n’ gizzardlumps? A hilarious look at mealtime with a pair of persnickety eaters, in the most fun made-up language ever!

Would you like a bite of frizzle frazzle hotchy potch? How about a plate of mushy gushy bloobarsh? NERP, says our hero. Nerpity nerpity nerp! (That’s “NO” to you!) With nonsense language and humorously expressive illustrations, this delightfully silly picture book tells the story of two picky eaters—one child, one pet—of indiscriminate species, a multitude of supposedly tasty goodies, and one surprising solution to a familiar childhood situation.
