Author: Anna C. Morrison
Publisher: Green Gooey Goop
Pages:16
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Format: Paperback/Kindle
A little girl is presented with a different sort of a meal when her mom serves her green gooey goop. Interesting and icky ingredients appear one by one as the little girl decides what’s in this noxious-smelling concoction. The little girl creates a flood, and her dog’s fur turns green. Suggested age range for readers: 0-8
This book was written to capture the moment when a child is confronted by healthy food that, while nutritious, may not appear to be delicious. Many children react imaginatively to new foods, and the child in this book is no exception. She envisions the ingredients as other than what her mother describes in the first part of the book in an attempt to get out of eating the food. When she realizes she must eat it anyway, it spills onto the family dog, who may or may not be green forever!
I hope you enjoy starting a conversation with your child about the value of eating healthy foods that also taste delicious. Thank you for reading Green Gooey Goop!
“Green Gooey Goop, a children’s book by Anna C. Morrison, narrates the story of a mom who tries to add more green to her child’s meal. She prepares a smoothie-like food with diverse green ingredients inside for her little girl who imagines the green smoothie as a mixture of disgusting and awful things such as sweaty socks and monkey. The little girl needs to eat the smelly green sandwich. She drops it and her dog licks the green stuff spilled on him. What happens to the poor dog is a mystery.
Readers, kids or adults, will enjoy the descriptive and rhyming story of a little girl who hates green stuff in her food. Everyone will enjoy reading this book since it’s a common story among kids who prefer more sweets and chocolates rather than green nutritious vegetables. We may have had the same experience when we were children. Morrison just reminds us of the healthiness of green foods. Green Gooey Goop is a fun and insightful book for its readers.
The intuitive and adorable illustrations by Alexander Morris help kids be part of the story, by letting them see horrible things brewing up from the pot mom gave to the little girl. The colors are vivid and attract readers, inviting them to enjoy it to the last moment. This book is a reminder to its readers to live healthily and stop making excuses since vegetables are good for everyone. We must change our eating habits and nutrition to live better and healthier lives.”

REVIEW

This book is a rhyming story about a mother trying to get more "green" into her child's diet. The little girl wasn't too happy about a "green smoothie?" She thinks green stuff is yucky. She even wears a gas mask in the book at one point.

The author brings out a lot of healthy green foods such as green apples, kiwis, peas, broccoli, avocados, asparagus and pistachio nuts. After a while some rather unappealing green foods are introduced like pickles, tart, cilantro, spinach, spirolina, and even a few frog toes! Put all of that in a cup and mix it up. What do you have? GREEN GOOEY GOOP!

As we try to raise our children healthy, we look to put fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. Sometimes I've put peanut butter or cream cheese on celery or apple pieces to make them a little more appealing. Another children seem to like is to dip their carrots,celery or even apple slices into Ranch dressing or another kind of their favorite dressing. We are in a way, disguising the yucky foods our children don't seem to want into a little more appealing foods.

I loved the artwork. It had appealing food and then it had food that looked like GREEN GOOEY GOOP.
We all, not just our children need to eat more healthy; we need to take time to do so and put some color in our diets.
This book teaches some very good lessons on nutrition and eating better for our children.

I WAS GIVEN A COMPLIMENTARY COPY OF GREEN GOOEY GOOP FROM THE AUTHOR, MS. ANNA C. MORRISON AND PUMP UP YOUR BOOK FOR MY VIEW OF THE BOOK.

I would give this book 5 STARS.
