Synopsis

Fans of “A Bad Case of Stripes,” “Frog and Toad” and “The Music of Life” will love Robby Maninoff, a budding pianist preparing for an important concert. Robby’s mom is worried that he’s not getting enough nutrients, but who needs vegetables? Robby is stoked! That is, until he settles into a hot bath and sees all his color going down the drain! Mom quickly calls Uncle Louie, the local wishing fairy, who flies right over with a chlorophyllic solution—broccoli with garlic sauce! Robby has no choice but to eat it. BROCCOLI ROBBY is a cautionary tale about what happens when frogs don’t eat their greens. Written in a style reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, Rosalinde’s words and vibrant illustrations create an entertaining read for kids of absolutely ALL ages!
