First in this book, a rabbit appears. When we suggest the rabbit to have some lettuce, saying, “Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit, have some lettuce!”, the rabbit answers, “No, no, I don’t like lettuce!” after discovering a caterpillar in the lettuce. Next, when we suggest a cat to have a fish, the cat also cries, “No!”, saying he is scared of the eye. The same story structure continues in the case of a mouse, a donkey, a tiger, and an elephant. However, a baby, the last character, is quite different from other characters. The baby puts his hands up, and seems very happy after listening to the word, ‘din-din’. Is it because the baby is called, ‘Mr. Baby’? or because the baby wants to show how nicely he can have his own meal? Thanks to the baby’s answer, all the other animals get together in front of the table.
This picture book is for children who do not tend to have their meals. With this book, readers can reach their children just like they are playing with them, for example, they can change the repeated words in this picture book into their baby’s own names, and read the story. How about reading this book together in front of the dinner table when your child doesn’t like to eat something?
