Snack, Please!

by Georgie Birkett (Author) Georgie Birkett (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Banana chips! Rice cakes! When Gertie wants to eat only snacks, her dad shares the joy of growing, making, and sharing your own food in this adorable picture book from the creator of Carry Me!

Gertie LOVES snacks! All kinds of snacks: sofa snacks, bath snacks, bedtime snacks . . . Isn't everything better with a snack? But the delicious meals Daddy is making for her are going uneaten, and snacks are all that Gertie can talk about. Could a day in Grandma's community garden plot be just the thing to help Gertie see everything she's missing--and find the inspiration she's looking for?

With characteristic warmth and humor, Georgie Birkett explores small children's exasperating eating habits, capturing the ups and downs of parenting life through a very endearing father-daughter mouse duo.

ALA/Booklist

Although Birkett’s point about the joy of meals is a bit heavy-handed, the story’s humor, charm, and positivity prevent it from feeling too didactic. The perfect distraction from snack time.

Kirkus

A satisfyingly conveyed and empowering message about choosing what to eat. (Picture book. 3-6)
