We all know that feeding kids can be quite a task sometimes! Food can end up everywhere BUT their mouths! But no matter how hard everyone tries to make him eat, Jasper McFlea will simply not eat his tea!
Jasper & Ginger McFlea are twin brother and sister, with wildly different tastes when it comes to food. While Ginger has a hearty appetite and eats almost everything, her brother Jasper refuses to eat anything except pasta.
Jasper is also a budding cricketer and as the final match of the season gets closer, Ginger makes a dire prediction about Jasper's sporting future if he doesn't change his culinary ways...
As well as being a fantastically entertaining read-out-loud story, Jasper McFlea will not Eat His Tea looks at the topic of food avoidance, a common and challenging childhood issue, which many children and their parents deal with all day, every day.
Ginger Mc Flea
