Do you like chips Oliver does, in fact, he won't eat anything else - until he plays a game with his grandpa.
Whatever vegetable Oliver finds in the garden, he must eat. On Monday, he pulls up carrots, on Tuesday, it is spinach . . .This is an excellent book for parents with slightly fussy children and it introduces the days of the week. Other titles in this series:Oliver's Fruit SaladOliver's Milkshake'This is a great book to link with maths as it rehearses the days of the week and the illustrations offer many opportunities for counting and working out how many vegetables.' - Nikki Sheene, year 1 teacher -- Child Education 20050105
