Book Review: A Tasty New Story of Legend
Summary: 5 Stars
The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating is by far one of the most interesting picture books I have read this year. This humorous, corky story involves a fascinating legend of how the Loch Ness Monster came to be and how a picky eater contributed to the growth of the "monster." Young Children will love the zany illustrations and descriptions of the monster's journey following a young girl on a ship who keeps throwing out her oatmeal to the sea in disgust. However, older children and adults will also be taken in by the connection of the science of picky eating, which is explained in more detail at the end. I may also be a picky eater and despise oatmeal, but I love this story for the unique combination of folktale, realism, and enjoyable illustrations.
Summary of Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating
Once upon a time, on a long, slow trip to Scotland, a little girl named Katerina-Elizabeth tossed her oatmeal overboard?again, and again, and again. She was a picky eater, and oatmeal was her least favorite food.
And once upon a time, a small worm, no bigger than a piece of thread, swam alongside an ocean liner bound for Scotland and ate bowl after bowl of tossed oatmeal. He had never tasted anything as wonderful as oatmeal in his whole life. A. W. Flaherty and Scott Magoon unravel the Loch Ness legend in this whimsical picture book for the picky (and not-so-picky) eater in all of us.
