Reach for this book when you are locked in a daily battle over broccoli or when your child insists that they will only ever eat one specific food. It serves as a lighthearted intervention for the 'picky eater' phase, using absurdist humor to bypass the usual dinnertime power struggles. The story follows Benny, a boy who eats so many burgers that he actually turns into one, leading to a wild chase where cows and dogs try to eat him. While the message about healthy eating is clear, the book prioritizes laughs over lectures. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who enjoy slapstick humor and 'what if' scenarios. Parents will appreciate how it uses a classic cautionary tale trope to make the consequences of a limited diet feel silly rather than scary, opening the door for a more relaxed conversation about trying new things.
