Humoristically, it seemed quite promising, and the pictures are cute. But my son didn't really get it, he kept saying "but, I like to get dressed", "but, I like to sit in my car seat", "but, I like to take a bath". So, he was amused by the idea of having worms for lunch but he remained puzzled throughout the book. Didn't really work for us ...
This book was super silly but I loved reading it to the boy I babysit. It was full of clever comebacks to a child that does not want to do what his parents ask. It poked at children disobeying but was in no way mean just a funny story. The illustrations were great too I loved the unique colors.
Commonplace rhyme about the presumed travails of toddlerhood. Nice try at humour but doesn't pull up any trees.
