While I can honestly say that creamed tuna with peas on toast does not sound like the most appetizing of choices, I don't believe that I could "hate it the most" like the other family members, especially Jack. However, I could see how much he truly hated it by the end of the story. It was a very cute and entertaining story with very traditional illustrations.

Philip Stead's artwork is lots of fun to look at. It's multilayered and colorful, and it's fun to see what sort of multiple media he has used to construct his intricate illustrations. His collages of paint, newspaper, old stamps, wallpaper and maps made me spend several minutes with each page.
