Pete is a happy little bunny who lives in a little yellow house with blue windows with his family. What he likes most in life, unfortunately, is to eat sweets. Lots and lots of them. His mother cannot convince him to eat healthier food, no matter how much she tries.One day, Pete falls asleep after eating too many sweets at his friend's birthday party. A Magical Cookie Jar comes to him in a dream and offers Pete anything he wants. Of course, Pete wants more sweets! But the tricky Magical Jar turns that dream sour. And fishy and old socks -tasting.Pete the bunny is cured of eating only sweets, but is your kid? My oldest nephew has a sweet tooth. When he sees those little round pops they sell at Strarbucks, he goes ballistic. And after he eats it, he just keeps on bouncing. We get into some heated discussions with him about eating sweets, but four year olds do have a knack for winning most verbal arguments.Books like this are pretty darn useful for helping the little ones realize that eating only sweets is not a good idea, and the younger they are when we start talking to them about it, the better. This is a nicely done kid's book with lovely illustrations and a good message. Pick it up.
