Fun children's book that I read with my girls. ( )

This is one of those books that I remember really loving as a kid. I always liked the wobbly illustrations, and all of the crazy things Gregory has to eat. I love stumbling across books like this at work and thinking, "That book! I remember that one!" Ah, the joys of working in youth services... ( )

This book has always been one of my favorite books to be read to. As a child, I never thought to think of why the goat was a picky eater and why it was good or bad to eat only junk or produce based foods. As a mother and adult, I can see where these problems can or could come up with young children and how the parents of the goat took steps to try to understand their kid and help them find a balance in a diet that would suit them.
I don't fully agree with the method they in the middle of the story but the beginning part is good and the ending is amazing! ( )

Gregory isn't like most goats. Instead of indulging in delicacies like old shoes, boxes, and bottle caps, he prefers to eat fruits, vegetables, eggs, and fish. Mother Goat and Father Goat are disgusted, and after several attempts to get Gregory to eat like a proper goat, they finally take him to see Dr. Ram. But when Gregory finally develops a taste for flat tires and broken violins, he's not just eating like a goat — he's eating like a pig! Will Gregory be able to find a healthy balance before he eats everything in the house? -- Scholastic, Inc.
