Getting the Little Blighters to Eat

Keeping the Little Blighters Busy

Getting the Little Blighters to Behave

Claire Potter

It's easy to think that children are naturally just fussy eaters. Yet, without realizing it, we are actually creating many of the problems ourselves with the things we do and say to our children around food. This little book tells you how to start again. It will give you easy-to-follow, easy-toremember rules to help re-programme your child into a happy, healthy, adventurous eater.

Tried and tested on real children, these ideas encourage a sense of exploration, accomplishment, challenge, creativity, boldness and ouside-the-box thinking. They'll cost you nothing - or next-to-nothing. All you need is a playful attitude, a sense of adventure and perhaps just a tiny hint of mischief here and there!

Let's face it, life with kids can be exhausting and exasperating. Here, in one little book, is everything you need to know to make your dayto-day life as a parent easier. Based on in-depth interviews with child psychologists, it gives you techniques, tactics, tips and tricks that research shows actually work.

The Perils of Breakfast Watch out for bears in your cornflakes. Bears are dangerous. Bears have big claws. Bears are always hungry. At breakfast time, doubly so. If you lift a spoonful of cornflakes to your mouth and it’s got a bear hiding in it, well, you’ll be in trouble then. Won’t you? Eaten up just like that. Gobble. Gobble. Crunch. Fortunately bears are larger than cornflakes and so you can usually spot a little bit of fur poking round the side.

Publishes 3rd September 2020

If you do spot a little bit of fur poking round the side of the cornflake in the spoon you’ve lifted up to your mouth to have for your breakfast then just put your spoon down, step away and choose something else instead.

Encourage your child to think about the ways the illustrations help us to understand the story. What do we learn from the pictures that isn’t mentioned in the text? What about the illustration on page 7?

So he ran out of the water on to the banks. He ran helter-skelter, staggering all over the forest. BUMPITY BUMP! He ran into the guava tree. The tree shook left. And then it shook right.

What happened to the piece of amber? How did Aggie feel when she lost the amber? How do you know?

Draw it! Look at the pictures that tell the story on pages 30-31. Why not draw your own pictures to tell a story you know?

Word explorers

Be Creative!

Read these words together and talk about their meanings. Can your child make up a sentence using each one?

Can you paint your own stone that shows something about what you enjoy doing? Try to use simple pictures like Aggie does in the story.

“I hope you haven’t forgotten about me!” a little voice would whisper. “I am still there – in the corner – waiting.” Pandora tried to ignore the voice. “Who cares about the stupid box?” she said.

The playground was nearly empty now. He heard a bell and knew he should run in quickly, but his legs felt weak and shaky.

She tried to tell herself she was not interested. She even tried to pretend it did not exist. But some people, when they’re told they must not do something, simply have to do it.

Scott’s new school was tall – very tall. It was dark – very dark. Everything about it was very strange, very different and very, very BIG!

Pandora was one of those people. The harder she tried to put the box out of her mind, the more she thought about it. Soon she could think of nothing else.

All around the school there were high railings. It looked like a cage made to keep in some huge beast. In the basement, Scott could see two grimy windows. The windows had bars across them. Was something being kept down there? he wondered.

Pandora's Box

The Thing in the Basement

Rose Impey, illustrated by Peter Bailey

Michaela Morgan, illustrated by Doﬀy Weir

Pandora and her husband receive a wedding gift from the gods that they are warned never to touch – a strange, carved box. It can't hurt to have just one little look... can it?

As Scott passes the basement steps at his new school, there's a bang, then a ﬂash and a roaring sound. Scott knows there's something down there. Something nasty. Something dangerous...

“Curses!” screamed the witch, Caridwen. She kicked the cauldron, stubbed her toe and yelled “Curses!” again.

‘What a wonderful idea!’ said Lady Macbeth, smiling. ‘If they’re found like that, everyone will think they’re guilty!’

You might think she was overreacting (said Taliesin) about a bit of stew that got burnt, but this was no ordinary brew. Whoever drank this brew would gain the knowledge of all things that were and are and shall be, plus a whole lot more besides. Caridwen wasn’t interested in the details. All she knew was that this

‘So it’s settled,’ said Macbeth. He clenched his jaw and tried to stay calm. ‘Now we’ll go to see the king,’ he said, ‘and keep him happy till he goes to bed. We can put on a good show… but what’s in our hearts he’ll never know.’ And with that, they walked down the passage into deeper darkness.

Benjamin Hulme-Cross, illustrated by Alessia Trunﬁo

Hercules wants to be famous forever so he has to complete the tasks the King sets him. It won't be easy. In fact, Hercules will have to face some of the most terrifying and dangerous creatures that live on earth – and in hell!

Odysseus is a hero but all he really wants to do is defeat the Trojans and go home. The trouble is both those tasks will take a bit longer than he had hoped, and he'll need all his cunning to complete them.

Merlin has embedded a sword in a stone. The one who can pull it out will be the new king – and soon, that's Arthur! Join him as he battles giants and knights, and learns to be a true king.
