Just as his mother warned, picky eater Benny turns into a burger. The Burger Boy is chased around town by ten dogs, a herd of cows, and hungry boys. After his mother rescues Benny from Bigga Burgers, where the owner has put him on display, a diet of fruits and vegetables changes him back into a boy. Now, however, his love of vegetables has Benny in danger of becoming one. The language of this cautionary tale about being a picky eater is lively and the illustrations are full of humorous details, such as the round-headed Benny in a black-and-orange sweater transitioning into a hamburger lathered in mustard . ca
