“I thought this book was fun at the beginning, with cute illustrations and a picky eater saying how everything is "too" slimy, fishy, etc. But the ending was very abrupt and didn't make much sense. The book went from saying everything is "too" pickley/etc to the last page just showing an empty plate with the words "so yummy.”
