A playful and experiential book that allows a child to reduce resistance by identifying with animal characters. After all, every animal has a food that is identified with it, and the child enters its character - literally physically, through a hole in the book through which he passes his head, and his face becomes the face of the animal. The book was born to help children who have difficulty tasting new healthy foods - whether due to pickiness, sensitivity, or simply fixed eating habits.
