Green Gooey Goop

by Anna C. Morrison

Children’s Fiction

Book Description

 A little girl is presented with a different sort of a meal when her mom serves her green gooey goop. Interesting and icky ingredients appear one by one as the little girl decides what’s in this noxious-smelling concoction. The little girl creates a flood, and her dog’s fur turns green. Suggested age range for readers: 0-8

This book was written to capture the moment when a child is confronted by healthy food that, while nutritious, may not appear to be delicious.  Many children react imaginatively to new foods, and the child in this book is no exception.  She envisions the ingredients as other than what her mother describes in the first part of the book in an attempt to get out of eating the food.  When she realizes she must eat it anyway, it spills onto the family dog, who may or may not be green forever!

MY THOUGHTS: 4 OUT OF 5 FLEURS DE LIS

Green Gooey Goop by Anna C. Morrison

My 6 year old actually loves to eat his greens, so this book was like looking on the other side for us! He thought it was hilarious to name all of the ingredients that the main character believed were in the soup–while mom thought it was kinda gross. I know kids love gross, though, so I can see this book being a big hit with both boys and girls of kindergarten age.
