This hilarious picture book from author Danny Schnitzlein will have picky eaters begging for more. What do you dread eating the most? For one young boy, its peas, but hes discovered a seemingly simple solution. He makes a bargain with a fiendishly funny monster who will eat the boys peas in exchange for his soccer ball. But soon, peas are on the menu again and with each new encounter, the monsters demands escalate. Eventually, our hero faces a daunting decision―can he conquer his loathing for peas, or will he lose his most prized possession? Danny Schnitzleins verse combines with Matt Faulkners uproariously detailed illustrations to create a clever story about how far were willing to go to avoid the things we hate.
