About The Book

Who said dinnertime was hard?

Dad's got dinner sorted! Lenny and the twins sit at the table, ready to dig in. Dad has cooked a delicious meal - Lenny's favourite! - and there is enough for everyone to have seconds. Perfect! But then -

What's that green stuff?

I need a spoon! I need a bowl!

It's too hot! It's too cold!

Can I have dessert yet?


From one of Australia's best-loved comedians and children's entertainers Jimmy Rees and illustrator Briony Stewart comes a story about the dinnertime drama that families everywhere will know all too well.
