Yoshi's Feast

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a situation where they feel taken advantage of or when you want to discuss the difference between technical rules and true fairness. It is an excellent choice for navigating social dynamics where one person uses their position to bully another through greed. The story follows Yoshi, a fish fan who enjoys the smell of his neighbor's grilled eels, only to be charged for the pleasure of the aroma. Yoshi's clever response provides a brilliant lesson in creative problem solving and nonviolent resistance. It is perfectly pitched for children aged 4 to 8, offering a humorous yet profound look at how wit can level the playing field against a greedy opponent. Parents will appreciate how it models standing up for oneself without stooping to the level of the antagonist.
