Book Reviews of I'd Really Like to Eat a Child (Picture Book)
Book Review: Excellent storytime fare!
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Achilles the crocodile is asserting his first stabs at independence to his parents--he turns into a finicky eater and demands some grown-up food. "But we eat bananas for breakfast," his mother entreats. Achilles' parents try to entice him with his favorite foods: chocolate cake (sneakily made with lots of fresh milk) or a long sausage. The parents theatrically pretend it's a disaster: "Boo-hoo-hoo! Our Achilles won't eat" and let the youngster test the waters of his individual power. "Achilles was beginning to feel strange and rather weak all over--which is exactly what happens when you haven't eaten your breakfast," so he heads off for a swim where he spies a little girl. Expounding all his ferociousness to the little girl, Achilles comes across as ridiculously little and cute. The girl grabs him by the tale, tickles his belly, gets bored and splunks him in the river. Achilles goes home to eat his bananas, and look forward to the day he is big enough to eat a child. This is excellent storytime fare from a French author and illustrator team. Do not overlook the fun this story brings forth!
