Alvie Eats Soup

32 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | October, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-27260-2 $$15.95
(3) K-3 When Alvie's granny, a world-famous chef, comes to visit, Alvie's parents don't tell her that their son only eats soup. But much to his parents' chagrin and Alvie's delight, Granny reveals at book's end her own unusual eating preference. The rollicking text and humorous illustrations featuring dialogue boxes and the occasional wry gag (that only older readers will get) make for a funny, far-fetched tale.
