As a child she loved reading about and living in fantasy worlds. They were a portal to possibility that provided both escape and power.

When she is not creating dangerous fantasy worlds, she enjoys the relatively safe pleasures of travel, gardening, friends, and family. Visit Mary on Instagram @maryepearson for book news and updates.

This book was disgusting. Yet amusing at the same time. some of the most off-the-wall food combinations involving pickles. Some actually made my stomach churn for real. Others were fun when I saw my younger brother say 'gross' or make a dirty face. So we got a few laughs too. Although I do not think we will be eating pickles anytime soon.

Girl loves pickles with all kinds of food. Good book to introduce different words relating to food. AR 2.2 The AR listing is so high because of the different types of food listed which are multiple syllable words. Rookie Reader Level B

I like this book because it provoke, "yeck", and a discussion of food tastes and how they change. And too much of a good thing turns to yeck. I also like the illustration where the dog is laying on the ground, waiting for drips of ice creme.

It's very short story, but children can learn the words, "slice, slap, top, dip, on, in, with. They enjoy doing food game by using these words.
