My kids and I love this book! It was funny and had a good lesson for kids that hate vegetables. A reminder to keep a balanced diet but in a fun and witty way. Does not read like a lecture but at the ending my kids all got the point. My 6 year old wants to hear this story all the time. And my 12 year old who thinks he is too old for stories with us always sits in on this one. I would recommend this to anyone who has a child who hates to eat one thing and wants to over indulge in another.

A boy who loves burgers eats so many that he turns into one. He is chased by all sorts of things that want to eat or exploit him until his mother saves him and makes him eat vegetables to transform back into a boy. A good message in today's overweight society, but I didn't like the ending.
The illustrations are colored pencil, acrylic and cut paper. They are simple, in bright colors and the people have large round cartoon heads.

Burger Boy tells of a story of a boy who loves eating ... burgers. He eats so many that he starts to look like one. Dogs, cows, and children all chase him throughout the book. He gets mistaken for a real hamburger and decides he should eat vegetables and fruit instead of just hamburgers. He starts to gain his shape back and becomes a vegetarian. It teaches children how to eat properly and healthy.

Young Benny loves hamburgers. It's the only thing he'll eat. One day he finds that he has become a burger. He is immediately chased by dogs, cows and hungry children. He is then rescued but put on display in a burger shop. His mother finally gets him safely home where she feeds him nothing but fruits and vegetables. He has to be careful though. If he eats too many vegetables he may became a...?

The problem with working at the library is that I'm constantly picking up picture books and flipping through them when I should be shelving them! I couldn't resist this cover and the story was so cute. A boy who eats too many burgers turns into one and is chased by other burger lovers until his mom feeds him veggies and turns him back into a boy. I love the illustrations.

SO funny. Benny is aptly named Burger Boy because he won't eat anything but hamburgers until the life changing day when he actually turns into one. Oh if only he had listened to his mother who fortunately came to his rescue and saved him from a miserable fate as Burger Boy only to prepare him to become....Carrot kid? Maybe there will be a sequel.

A cute spin on the idea that if you eat too much of something you will turn into it. Some adventure and some humor, but also a little scary that the boy was stuck as a burger and almost eaten. In the end, we learn that everything is good in moderation. A possible addition to a primary grade nutrition unit.

This book made me laugh. It reminded me of how my grandma used to tell me that I ate so much of a particular thing that I would turn into it. :) A fun way to try to get kids to eat their veggies...or rather a more balanced diet (because they could turn into veggies too if they ate too much!).

This book is such a pleasure to read to children! I use it in my storytimes and the kids go wild when the boy is chased by all the different animals. It's also pretty close to my heart because I LOVE hamburgers!

A little boy who eats too many burgers and turns into one, only to be chased by angry cows, hungry little boys and enterprising business owners. Hilarious cautionary tale for kids about nutrition!

Moral of the story for kids: Eat a well rounded diet of vegetables AND burgers/etc. It was ok not the best I've ever read but still interesting.

Apparently little boys turning into hamburgers and carrots is hilarious to a three year old. Really cute illustrations.

A cute story about remembering to vary your diet. It is a kooky story with giggle worthy moments. We have taken this one from the library 3 or 4 times, at the little one's request.

Pink-a-licious for boys. A boy eats so many burgers that he turns into one. Great for units on nutrition.
