Mmm…marigolds!: a Yummy Book for Picky Eaters.

Children aged 2-6 will love to join Mommy Deer and her fawn as they head to the garden for mealtime. There are many great foods to eat in the garden but baby deer wants to avoid trying the marigolds. They are Yuck! Yuck! Yucky! This charming story is a great book to encourage picky eaters to try new foods. But there are always two sides to every story and children will empathize with the frustrated gardener who tries to grow her flowers with pesky deer around!

With beautiful illustrations, short repetitive sentences, and a cute storyline, this book is a great find for toddlers and early readers. Educators will love the featured letter P words and the multiple points of view too! Look for the ladybugs hidden in the illustrations for an added game of search and find to motivate your child to read and reread this family favorite bedtime story.
