What is Too pickly! about?
When lunchtime arrives, one little boy finds fault with everything on his plate. The food is too wrinkly, too squishy, too fruity and too fishy, and soon his complaints grow louder and sillier. With lively rhymes and colourful illustrations, the story follows his hilarious struggle to find something he likes. A surprising turn of events helps transform the mealtime drama, bringing a warm and reassuring ending that children and adults can enjoy together.
