Bronto Eats Meat

Bronto Eats Meat by Peter Maloney and Felicia Zekauskas is one of my children's favorite books. In all honesty, we've probably read it at least 20 times. Maybe more. They've both memorized the words to every page even though it's still well above their reading level.

The story is about a little boy named Billy, his bothersome older sister and a gigantic brontosaurus who learns the meaning of the phrase "watch what you eat" the hard way.

As everybody knows, brontosauruses are herbivores and don't eat meat. Or, at least they're not supposed to! One day, Bronto gets a terrible stomachache and is rushed to the hospital. When the doctor takes an x-ray, it shows Bronto's ribs, his stomach, some trees, and... Billy!

The doctor discusses Bronto's three options for expelling the boy from his stomach. Bronto, with the help of his parents, comes to the decision to drink 100 cans of Slurp-n'-Burp soda to help him throw-up the little boy. He ends up burping and shooting Billy all the way home!

When Billy tells his mother, teacher and friends about his experience, nobody believes him - least of all his bossy older sister. Until... something happens that ultimately changes her mind.

With 32 colorful pages, this wholesome story definitely captures the attention of children.

Highly recommended for boys and girls ages 2-8!

A little bit about me

Let's get to know each other better!

Here are 10 things you might not know about me... Don't worry, none of its too heavy!

1 - I obsessively Google/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram stalk celebrities before I watch a movie they're starring in. I like to know every nitty gritty detail about them before I push play. Height, weight, childhood, romantic interests, scandals... nothing is sacred.

2 - Sometimes I hide in the other room when I eat a candy bar so I don't have to share with my children. If they catch me and ask what I'm eating I stuff the wrapper in my pocket and lie. Yes, I know this is wrong.

3 - I LOVE playing games. Board games, word games, puzzles, etc. I'm a fabulous loser but a terrible winner. This is why my husband adamantly refuses to play games with me. Ever. I'm trying to learn to be a more graceful winner. You know, to set a better example for my children... Blah, blah, blah.

4 - I desperately want to star on the reality show Survivor. And I truly think I could win. Speaking of which, I do believe the new season starts tonight! Woot, woot!

5 - I love writing poetry but I never share it with anybody.

6 - I sometimes dream I was born hundreds of years ago when people traveled by horseback and rode in horse-drawn carriages. I would love living in a small cabin miles and miles away from town and living off the land. I do, however, enjoy indoor plumbing and advanced medicine so all in all I'm OK with the way things are.

7 - I really, really like supernatural books and television shows about vampires, werewolves and zombies. I don't know why.

8 - My husband and I met on a blind date arranged by two UPS drivers. We like to joke about "What Brown can do for you!" (The UPS drivers were my mother and his regular delivery man)

9 - I average about 5 or 5-1/2 hours of sleep a night. I really need to go to bed earlier but there's so much I want to do and just not enough hours in the day.

10 - I'm a compulsive list maker. Can you tell from this post?

OK, enough about me. Now tell me a few things about you!

Happy Wednesday.
