ds is a fussy eater. My latest idea is to read lots of books with him about food to encourage a bit more adventure into his diet. He's 2.5 and we read a lot, so pls don't suggest the very hungry caterpillar!

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

The Ugly Vegetables by Grace Lin is nice and there is a book called Vegetable Glue which is about eating your vegetables.

Doesn't have to be entirely about food - we're reading 'i want to eat a child' atm - food is in it, but not the sole topic iyswim. ( will look for ugly veg, thanks savoy)

We read "Oliver's vegetables" and "Oliver's Fruit Salad" for a similar reason to a non-fruit and veg eating DD (it didn't work, but the books are nice).
