Gregory, the Terrible Eater

　　小山羊葛瑞喜歡在岩壁上跳來跳去，還喜歡亂頂亂撞。「我跟一般的山羊沒兩樣！」他說。可是一般的山羊愛吃紙箱子、舊鞋子，他卻只想吃蔬菜水果、魚、蛋跟麵包。

　　山羊爸爸問他：「這塊地毯很好吃喔，要不要試試？」山羊媽媽說：「想不想吃個罐頭呢，葛瑞？」可是葛瑞都沒胃口。著急的爸媽帶他去看醫生，羊醫生說：「讓他每天試一種新食物就好！」於是，媽媽煮了一盤義大利麵配鞋帶，葛瑞說：「還不賴！」接著是青豆炒鞋跟、蔬菜湯配罐頭…葛瑞願意吃的食物越來越多，但是當爸爸的領帶跟媽媽的針線盒都被他吃掉的時候，山羊爸媽開始懷疑，葛瑞是不是變得太不挑食啦？(文／史黛拉)

　　Gregory, the Terrible Eater, wants orange juice and eggs for breakfast. His parents are terribly upset!

　　Why can't Gregory eat striped ties and violins, like the rest of the goats?

　　Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey have entered into the spirit of Mitchell Sharmat's upside-down, turned-around world with bold, wacky, expressive illustrations. The trio's exuberant collaboration provokes healthy laughter and even includes a colorful chart which gives fresh meaning to the concept of "junk food."
