Bookroo's summary
Mo refuses to eat his dinner, transforming into monstrous forms that consume everything in sight—except stringbeans and cheese souffle. As his appetite grows, so does the chaos. Can Mo find a way back to normal before he devours the world? What happens when a child's imagination runs wild and unchecked? Discover the whimsical yet perilous journey of a boy who must confront his own creations.
From the publisher
Mo, a little boy who doesn’t want to eat his dinner, turns himself into a series of ever-expanding monsters that eat virtually everything except stringbeans and cheese souffle, including math teachers and entire countries
