What is Eat up, Gemma about?
Baby Gemma is determined not to eat. She throws her breakfast on the floor, squashes grapes, bangs her spoon and even feeds her dinner to the dog. Her family try everything, but nothing changes. Then, during a visit to church, Gemma’s brother notices something that gives him a clever idea. Could his plan finally persuade the mischievous little girl to eat up? A lively, funny picture book about family life, toddler behaviour and an unforgettable mealtime battle.
