Jake Goes Peanuts

All Jake will eat is peanut butter sandwiches, and his parents are sick of it. Together they cook up a plan to put peanut butter in everything, and at first Jake is in heaven ("They had peanut butter pot roast/ served with peanut butter rice./ They had peanut butter soda/ chilled with peanut butter ice"). But after a week, Jake realizes that a little variety might be a good thing. Wright's crisp rhymes and droll cartoons should make picky eaters smile, and perhaps consider a little diversity in their own diets. Ages 4–7. (Aug.)
