Achilles is tired of eating bananas every day. What he really wants is to eat a child – but mum and dad aren’t being co-operative! What an idea! They try sausage and chocolate cake, but Achilles is not interested. Will Achilles finally be able to eat a child – or is he just a little too little!

Great fun and an obvious read aloud
An amusing story with wonderfully expressive illustrations
The familiar parental challenge of having a fussy eater is the focus of this funny tale...a hilarious take on fussy eating
Bringing a welcome touch of dry Gallic humour to the sometimes-too-worthy picture book market... the rhythmic repetition of this naughty catchphrase is a joy to read aloud...An instant favourite!
Children will love it!
I love books with a wicked glint in their eye...a deliciously naughty idea...Dorothee de Monfried's illustrations meld perfectly with the text. Both create a glorious world that you'll wish you were a part of.
