This book was super cute. It was a story about how the Lock Ness monster grew because a little girl threw out her oatmeal. It took the stance that picky eating is not a negative thing, but that it's okay. It was a great introduction to the legend of the Lock Ness monster and could open up conversations about whether or not myths/fables/tales are reliable. This would be a good book for Kinder-2nd grade. I might do this as a fun read-aloud or if we are talking about myths, Scotland, or foods.

Though it took me more than two years to read, this is an amazing book. It was the first genuinely fascinating nonfiction book I had read, and has inspired me to read more nonfiction since then. Flaherty brilliantly presents all possible angles on her subject, and is a delight to read.

Sent across the Atlantic on an ocean liner in order to visit her grandmother in Scotland, young Katerina-Elizabeth continually chucks her oatmeal - a food she simply cannot stand! - out the porthole. It is eaten by a little ocean worm, who begins to grow exponentially, as he follows the ship across the sea. Eventually ship, girl and worm reach Loch Ness, where the now gigantic creature becomes the fabled Nessie, AKA the Loch Ness Monster...

An immensely entertaining original pourquoi story, The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster: A Tale of Picky Eating pairs an amusing tale from author A.W. Flaherty with expressive artwork from illustrator Scott Magoon. Any child who has had a food they just didn't like - for me, it was spinach! - will identify with Katerina-Elizabeth, and will appreciate this creative explanation for how the Loch Ness Monster came to be. There's even an author's afterword discussing being a picky eater, and the science behind it. Recommended to all young picky eaters, and to Loch Ness Monster fans.… (plus d'informations)
