Willst du nicht wenigstens mal probieren?

In the animal kingdom, parents go to great lengths to make delicious meals appealing to their picky offspring: steaming wild boar droppings, freshly caught jellyfish, fibrous aquatic plants, and slippery snail slime. However, the little dung beetle turns its head away in disgust, the turtle hatchling clamps its mouth shut, and the baby hippo simply dives away. How frustrating! Fortunately, the animal children discover during the full moon festival how wonderful it is to enjoy meals together in a cozy atmosphere. And lo and behold! Some of them even embark on the adventure of trying something new. A humorous and cheeky book for fussy eaters, picky eaters, and their stressed-out parents. In the detailed, scientifically-based guide section, parents receive concrete tips on how to create a relaxed dining atmosphere and lovingly encourage their children to expand their taste horizons in small steps without pressure.
