Green Gooey Goop by Anna C. Morrison Review

About the Book:

Title: Green Gooey Goop
Author: Anna C. Morrison
Publisher: Green Gooey Goop
Pages:16
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Format: Paperback/Kindle

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!  

I hope you enjoy starting a conversation with your child about the value of eating healthy foods that also taste delicious.  Thank you for reading Green Gooey Goop!

My Review:

This was a really funny and goofy book. The ending made me laugh! This book also talks about all the different things that you can eat that are green, and not so nice things to eat that are green, like phlegm. I would have liked a more positive view of eating green foods, and why they are good for you. However fiber is mentioned once and I can see kids laughing about this book for years. I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own
