But I Don't Eat Ants

(3) PS Illustrated by Kelly Fry. The anteater narrator loves food ("Tortellini? Totallini! / Strudels? Noodles? I'll eat oodles") but won't eat ants. After sharing his brightly illustrated foodie fantasies, he has dinner, enjoying the (wink) "spicy, crunchy little peppers" his mother has sprinkled on his salad. Marvin pokes gentle, delicious fun at the psychological component of food aversions. (Fire ants? "Well that's totally different.")
