Gregory, the Terrible Eater

Gregory, the Terrible Eater,wants orange juice and eggs for breakfast. His parents are terribly upset!Why can't Gregory eat striped ties and violins, like the rest of the goats?Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey have entered into the spirit of Mitchell Sharmat's upside-down, turned-around world with bold, wacky, expressive illustrations. The trio's exuberant collaboration provokes healthy laughter and even includes a colorful chart which gives fresh meaning to the concept of "junk food."

Mitchell Sharmat and his wife, the popular children's book author, Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, live in Tucson, Arizona, a setting which inspired Mr. Sharmat's first book, Reddy Rattler and Easy Eagle. He says that the idea for this new story was planted while on vacation years ago, when a young goat started nibbling on this son's coat.
