The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-55644-1 $16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. On a trip to Scotland, oatmeal-loathing Katerina-Elizabeth tosses her breakfast overboard--to the delight of a pursuing ocean worm, who eats it and grows to become the Loch Ness Monster. Gorey-esque typeface and sepia, olive, and sea-green illustrations of a fin-de-siècle ocean crossing lend a delicious darkness to the lighthearted story, which concludes with a scientific note on picky eaters.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
