A bespectacled dog and a frustrated chef confront one very picky royal eater in this charming book that features many favorite foods from around the world. French fries! Pizza! Tacos! What is wrong with this little king that he won't eat such great stuff? There are clues in the illustrations if you closely at the boy king's crown. ( )

This is a cute book about the meaning of not spoiling your appetite with junk food before meals. Anyone can relate to this book because we all tend to eat whatever comes our way before it's meal time. The paintings are fabulous and eye-catching. I greatly enjoyed this book. ( )

Cute story about eating good food (instead of sneaking candy)/ ( )

Summary:
This book is about a chef and a dog that made sure the king's food was not poisoned. They got a new king and he hated the chef's food. The chef had to find a new recipe and fast.

My Thoughts:
I love this book and think it's just a great book to read on a rainy day. The artwork was cool. They made the chef's apron look like it was made of newspaper. ( )

Max is the king’s tester and the cook’s dog. Life is mighty fine until a new and very young king refuses the cook’s gourmet fare. The cook is desperate – he must find new recipes to satisfy an extremely picky and powerful sovereign. After travelling the world and experimenting with all sorts of exotic culinary treats, the cook uncovers the truth. The New King is devouring candy, cookies and other sweet treats rather than the delicious and nutritious food prepared by the cook. To avoid having his mother hear the truth, the young king decides to make better choices. He soon discovers his appetite and meals that are truly ‘fit for a king.’
