Illustrated by
Scott Magoon.
On a trip to Scotland, oatmeal-loathing Katerina-Elizabeth tosses her breakfast overboard--to the delight of a pursuing ocean worm, who eats it and grows to become the Loch Ness Monster. Gorey-esque typeface and sepia, olive, and sea-green illustrations of a fin-de-siècle ocean crossing lend a delicious darkness to the lighthearted story, which concludes with a scientific note on picky eaters.
