●Reflection

   When I finish reading this book, I feel the same as Lola. Actually, I’m a very picky about the food since I was a child. Charles is smart that he use many interested imagination to encourage Lola to eat whatever she hates. My mom also uses the same methods on me. If we don’t consider those hateful foods terrible, we can think them as other adorable things that we like more. Because of it, we will try to have a bite and we will usually fall in love with those foods after tasting them. This is a very great book to educate children never be fussy and children can also learn the vocabularies of fruits and vegetables. In the book, we can see the illustration and the real picture of the food. Also, every kind of food name is used different printer characters. Moreover, the style of illustration in this book is different than any other book I’ve seen before. It’s like a book which is drawn by children so that children might feel friendly when reading it.
