In this tale, young Alex discovers that onions aren\u2019t the only thing in the fridge that can make you cry, and that good eating habits can fend off all kinds of problems.<\/em><\/p>\nThere\u2019s a Crocodile in Our Pickle Jar by Artie Knapp is a fun children\u2019s picture book about a little boy who doesn\u2019t want to eat his dinner because he isn\u2019t hungry but then wants a piece of cake. However, his parents will only allow him to have some cake if he eats his dinner, which he won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
The story has a wonderful twist about what happens next as hunger really does kick in for the boy. Will he eat all of his dinner in the future?<\/p>\n
The tale is good fun and the full-page bright and bold illustrations really steal the show. I can see youngsters laughing along with the story and maybe deciding that eating their meals from now on is a good choice.<\/p>\n
My tiny criticism of the book is that I didn\u2019t expect it to end when it did. It felt cut off and I was expecting more from the story, especially more from the crocodile given the title.<\/p>\n
Overall, There\u2019s a Crocodile in Our Pickle Jar is an entertaining, quick read that little readers will enjoy from cover to cover.<\/p>\n\n
