I have been wanting to do some reviews of our favorite picture books, so here's the first for your consideration!

The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Ann Hoberman

Illustrated by Marla Frazee

The Seven Silly Eaters is one of my absolute favorite picture books.  I would own eight or nine copies of this one if I ever saw it again at a yard sale!  I'd like one for every one of my children to own their own copy and one for me, too! 

It tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Peters and their children, beginning with the oldest, Peter Peters, as an infant.  Each of the ensuing children (they eventually have seven) have a favorite dish, and that's the ONLY one they will eat!  Mrs. Peters must  work her days away meeting the demands of her children, until.......

This book is delightfully written in rhyme and very well illustrated.  I refer to it when one of my Lambies makes an unusual or outrageous request for a meal..."Who do you think I am, Mrs. Peters?"

I found my copy at a yard sale, but it is available on Amazon for $6 and on E-Bay, today, for as little as $1.31 (but I didn't check the shipping on that!). 

Let me know, my friendly readers, if you like the idea of book reviews and suggestions!
