Library Happenings

Henning School

  Our featured book of the week is “The Seven Silly Eater”s by Mary Ann Hoberman, illustrated by Marla Frazee.  

If you have a picky eater at your house, you will want to come check this book out. The illustrations in this book are fabulous. There is a guarantee that when you read this book with your child, they will be spending quite a bit of time looking at the illustrations. There is so much happening in each picture. The text in the book has a jolly rhyme to it and makes you almost want to sing the story! I highly recommend this book to uplift your spirit and put a giggle in your day.  

The back of the book jacket reads “Peter wants only milk, Lucy won’t settle for anything except pink lemonade, and Jack is stuck on applesauce. Each new addition to the Peters household brings a new demand for a special dish.

“What’s a mother to do?  Even though Mrs. Peters picks, peels, strains, scrapes, paches, fries, and kneads, the requests for special foods keep coming.  But it isn’t until Mrs. Peters’ birthday arrives that a present from her children solves the problem and surprises everyone.  

“Cheerfully ignoring all notions of good nutrition, Mary Ann Hoberman has created a happy, affectionate celebration of family chaos and cooperation for picky eaters of any age.” 

Come on up to the Henning Library and let us guide you to some glorious, fun books. We can’t wait to see you on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:30-5:30 p.m. following the school calendar is when we are open.
