About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when dealing with a child who has a one-track mind, whether it's a picky eater or a kid hyper-focused on a single toy. This hilarious story follows Minnie, a monkey who wants to do nothing but eat spaghetti. Her friend Freddy tries again and again to get her to come play, but Minnie is too busy eating her favorite food in a tree, on a swing, and even in the tub. The book uses simple rhymes and silly situations to explore themes of friendship and the joy of variety. It's a perfect, lighthearted read for ages 4 to 7 that gently encourages kids to look up from their favorite thing and enjoy other experiences, especially with friends.

What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

None. This is a secular story focused on light humor and friendship dynamics. The conflict is entirely situational and comical.

Ideal Reader

This is for a 4 to 6-year-old who is a creature of habit or a picky eater. It's also perfect for a child who gets hyper-fixated on one activity (like a specific TV show or video game) and struggles to transition to social play. The book addresses this single-mindedness in a funny, non-judgmental way.
