In acclaimed author Josh Schneider's Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning book Tales for Very Picky Eaters, James' dad has to get creative to convince him to eat healthy foods. Given broccoli, James wants to know what else he can have. So his father offers tasty alternatives such as gum prechewed by children with very clean teeth and dirt walked on by cooks wearing the finest French boots. His father even has helpful suggestions for alternatives to eggs, lasagna, milk, and oatmeal- and soon, James realizes that healthy foods aren't so bad, after all.
