I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato By: Lauren Child

Lola is a little girl who is VERY picky when it comes to food. She refuses to eat all vegetables, fruit, and even spaghetti! Charlie is Lola's older brother who helps with her dinner when their parents are busy. After Lola repeatedly refuses her dinner, Charlie begins to make up different names for foods. For example, he tells Lola that her carrots are "orange twiglets which are from Jupiter". After Charlie uses his imagination, Lola tries out the different foods on her plate and realizes that she actually likes all of them! In the end, Lola even begins making up creative names for food. This story is great for elementary students because it teaches them to try new things, especially healthy foods. Also, this book has great illustrations that children and grown ups will truly enjoy. I would suggest reading this book to a class one day before or after lunch, or if you are doing a health lesson to teach children to eat more fruits and veggies.
