Too Pickley!

Written by Jean Reidy Illustrated by Geneviève Leloup

Book Description

Another hip young picture book by this stylish duo-now tackling the trials and tribulations of the picky eater.

Too wrinkly, too squishy, too fruity, too fishy!

It's lunchtime, but our fussy little boy does not like a single item on his plate. What is a boy to eat?

Reidy's playful rhyming text is once again brought to life by Leloup's stylish bold art. Parents (and children) will love the hilarious antics the boy goes through, and the reassuring joy at the end of all that kitchen-table drama.


"Leloup’s bright, digitally mastered illustrations keep up with the comic pace of Reidy’s bouncy rhymes. Fans of the first book will enjoy the exaggerated humor of this hard-to-please youngster."—School Library Journal

"The irascible illustrations placed on brilliantly colored pages vividly show the amusing antics of the freckle-faced boy and his hamster sidekick."--Booklist

"Rejoice, gleeful mealtime fussbudgets: Too Purpley! (2010) has a sibling, and it’s called Too Pickley! Reidy’s pithy, energetic text...scans and rhymes so exuberantly that it feels joyful even though it’s about revulsion.  The verse is so satisfying that young listeners will recite along and demand seconds. Tuck in!"--Kirkus Reviews
