Summary: Wonderful writing, wonderful pictures!
Comment: We just found this book at the library yesterday, and my 3-year-old has already made me read it to her five times. She loves the pictures, loves watching the children grow up and keeps track of their progress on each page. Plus, she loves the words, and the rhyming keeps her interested even though the story is quite long for a short attention span. Having two finicky eaters in the family also makes the story very understandable, and funny to read. We will be purchasing this one today! Great book!!

Summary: Mary Ann Hoberman strikes gold again with this tale
Comment: Prolific children's book author and poet Mary Ann Hoberman has struck gold once again in this funny tale about the seven silly eaters (all children, naturally) in the Peters family. Mrs. Peters starts off as patient as can be, as each of the seven children develops some quirk or another having to do with size, temperature, taste, or type of food that they absolutely, positively WILL NOT EAT. She bends over backwards to accomodate their likes and dislikes, and the result is that the children are able to combine their favorite foods to come up with something wonderful for their wonderful mother's birthday.
The illustrations beautifully complement the story. Artist Marla Frazee's work has something of a Hillary Knight look to it (think early "Eloise" by Kay Thompson), and she beautifully captures the frenetic wiggliness and activity inherent in a family with seven children. Lots of fun for children, especially ones who happen to be (or know!) "silly eaters."

Summary: Seven Stars!
Comment: My all time favorite book......the illustrations are wonderful and there is so much going on in the scenes that my daughters were mesmerized as I read. The rhyming lyrics are funny, and the whole concept of each of the children having their own fussy way of eating is quite cute. They drive their mom nuts, of course, but in the end, the make her a surprise that is truly dee-lish :)
