        An ingenious and entertaining picture book to entice your little fussy eater to look beyond 'beige' and explore a whole new colourful world of food!

        Mummy's in a bad mood. She's fed up of food like chicken nuggets, pasta, chips, cereal and crisps. Then she has an idea! She's going to take her children to the supermarket to play a game. On Monday she tells them to choose three RED foods, on Tuesday three YELLOW foods, on Wednesday three GREEN foods... Look at all the foods there are to choose from!

        Which three foods would YOU choose? And how would YOU eat them?

        This cleverly concocted picture book features deliciously illustrated pages of red, yellow, green, orange and purple foods for your child to choose from. Enjoy the story together and then take your child to the supermarket to play the game in real life! Recommended by paediatric dietitians to help with fussy eating, it's a fun and effective way to coax your child out of their comfort zone and encourage them to go for something new and different.

        From Claire Potter, the best-selling author of Getting the Little Blighters to Eat, and with gorgeous illustrations from Ailie Busby.

        Review
        It's colourful, fun and I love the illustrated foods as well as the ideas the children in the story get up to. I'm definitely going to be trying this with my fussy 3 year old! ― The Bookworm Baby

        This is a fun, non-judgemental approach to 'picky eating' that should definitely encourage youngsters to try some new foods and Claire Potter, the author includes two sets of notes to help adult sharers to 'get the most out of ' the book. -- Jill Bennett ― Red Reading Hub

        This book is great for at home or at school; I've enjoyed naming the foods and discussing them with my toddler and I could see the scope of activities at school - particularly with Early Years and Key Stage 1. There are clear links to healthy eating, DT and science. -- Liz ― ReadingZone

        I love how the story describes what the children do with the food- how they eat it or use it to make something tasty. Each page is wonderfully illustrated and I love the use of colourful language to describe the different foods. -- Rascals and Rainbows ― Instagram: @rascals_and_rainbows

        This could be a great way of encouraging kids to try new foods and think about food in a fun, healthy way. -- Story Centred Play ― Instagram: @storycentredplay

        Which Food Will You Choose? by Claire Potter and [illustrated by] Ailie Busby is a fabulous interactive picture book that gets children thinking about all the wonderful, colourful food there is to eat. It has provided us with hours and hours of fun and games. It is perfect for little ones who are fussy eaters, or for children like my daughter, who love cooking and play-pretend shopping. ― PictureBookPerfect123

        The variety of food in the picture gave discussion to new foods that we've not tried and learning more about the ones we are more familiar with. -- Jane ― The Green Parent

        A stunning, beautifully illustrated book offering great opportunities to discuss foods with fussy eaters.
        The book could easily be used in early years settings, offering a great stimulus to get young children think about foods they are familiar with, and introducing others.
