Do you like chips? Oliver does. In fact, he won't eat anything else—until he plays a game with his grandpa.

Whatever vegetable Oliver finds in the garden, he must eat. On Monday, he pulls up carrots, on Tuesday, it is spinach...

This is an excellent book for parents with slightly fussy children, and it introduces the days of the week.
