Life Lessons: The Mealtime Battle

Through pictures and words, these books offer children opportunities to experience several worlds-of people, places, animals, birds, trees, colours, shapes, and ideas. From the strong, clear lines of folk tale-based illustrations that introduce concepts of line and circle, letters of the alphabet, sound words-to folk tales coloured with local art forms, ecology lessons, and gripping adventure stories-history and geography blend in narrative and picture.

The little boy is not interested in his food and a battle of wills follows at mealtime… until he realizes that it is important to eat regular, healthy meals to grow big and strong.
