The
Trouble with Cauliflower
Mortimer
is superstitious. He likes the taste of cauliflower,
but he seems to think that eating it will bring him
bad luck! When his best friend, Sadie, serves him a
stew that contains cauliflower, she explains that he
should try it...and he does...with disastrous results.
Mortimer is more convinced than ever that cauliflower
is the culprit. Sadie stays with him, there to understand,
to help, and to do something to change his luck. What
will happen when she serves him a "secret surprise"
stew containing you-know-what? Will bad luck follow?
Will positive thinking change his luck?
You
will love the animals...the hippo is hilarious...and
the mouse is...where is that mouse?
The
Trouble with Cauliflower
is one of the funniest, best illustrated stories we
have read in years! We believe Jim Harris should have
won the Caldecott Medal for this book! Special thanks
to this talented artist for allowing us to use some
of his illustrations in our literature guide!
