A boy who eats nothing but burgers - I can relate - soon turns into one, and has the whole town chasing after him. There are many comical episodes throughout the book that children will love; my personal favourite is when Benny is chased through the town! She examines themes of right and wrong, prejudice, stereotyping, psychology, reality and abstract thought. While this book does cover healthy eating habits and a balanced diet, it does portray a child turning into food.While we worked full time jobs in the engineering industry, both enthusiastic about burgersand food, we decided to open a burger van in our hometown of Port Talbot. Benny ran away from hungry animals and people as he tried to convince them that he was a boy, and wasn't a burger.

My wife and i always tell our children, if we eat too much pizza you'll turn into one, and thats precisely what happens here only with hamburgers. have the kids tell me their favorite food and maybe ask if anyone's parents make them eat fruits and vegetables. He gets picked up by the burger truck because the guy thinks that Benny is a giant Birger and wants to put him on display.And the slow transformations from boy to food and back again, is a wonderful example of a talented artist. I would recommend this to anyone who has a child who hates to eat one thing and wants to over indulge in another. The boy loves to eat hamburgers and that's all he eats for a period of time; however, he turns into a burger the more he eats them. Homemade bbq beans, fluffy pancakes, grilled mushroom’s, fried egg, cajun hash nuggets, grilled tomatoes and signature fried chicken tenders covered in maple syrup. This book made me smile with it's funny storyline and symphatic pictures and I bet children will love it as well.
