While World War II is changing the world in major ways, a young boy named Roger finds himself in a different kind of fight-a battle within himself-as he tries to muster up the courage to sample a bite of cheesecake. Yes, that's right, cheesecake. You see, Roger can't understand how cheese, regularly eaten in his favorite grilled sandwiches, could possibly taste good in cake. He is quite disturbed that others not only find this oddity acceptable but also say it's delicious.
The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake inspires picky eaters and young readers, ages 4-9, to try new things and encourages conversation with older family members and friends about foods they didn't like in childhood (or, at least, thought they didn't like) and what happened when they actually tried the foods for themselves. A timely book about a preconceived notion being challenged and
overcome before it's too late.
