About this ebook
Bugs are for the birds!
Lisbon is hungry and it’s hard to wait for dinner. When her animal friends try to help her find something tasty to eat, the real the problems begin! Join Lisbon on her funny misadventures.
Each beautiful illustration is designed to inspire the imaginations of children. An activity page at the end of the book allows for more fun as they search for special items in the illustrations.
This version of I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs has been designed specifically for ebook with a fixed layout and larger text for easy reading. While this is a great read-aloud book for parents, teachers, and other adults to share with children, we have chosen fonts that are similar to the way children form letters for easy recognition as they begin to read on their own. The print book is also available in 8.5” x 11” format.
Author’s Note:
I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs was written for my daughter, who was two when I wrote this story and didn’t like salad, but now she’s four and a half and loves it—if I give her plenty of salad dressing! (But don’t worry—this isn’t a book about eating salad.) Of course birds, cats, and dogs have a very different idea of what's good to eat, but through this fun adventure, Lisbon learns there is also food meant just for her—and it's good, especially compared with all the offerings from her animal friends.
My daughter and I privately call this book the "Ice Cream Story" (she LOVES ice cream so there had to be ice cream involved), and now whenever something funny happens, she says, "We should write a new ice cream story about that."
And we have! I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs is the first book in a series called Lisbon’s Misadventures. Book 2, I Don't Want to Have Hot Toes, is now available, and Tim Petersen is hard at work creating the illustrations for the next two books. Tim is obviously a fabulous artist, and I’m excited to be working with him. You can sign up on my website to learn when the next book comes out (http://teylarachelbranton.com/). Thank you and enjoy!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very nice. Light and pleasant.
Sadly my kid still wasn't convinced he might like salad after the book races it, but he did enjoy the story. The art was solid, and the characters all behaved well, which is especially nice in a book about people not eating what other animals eat. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs By Rachel Branton and Tim Petersen Children's colorful story of a girl and she is so hungry. Too hungry to wait for dinner.She heads outside and some animals try to treat her to one of their favorite snacks...What I like about this book is that you can see the lettering on the dark background making it easy to read.She comes across many animals and their foods. She gets a surprise after dinner.Love end where it asks you to find so many items on the pages you've just read. Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pleasant, unpreachy, story about a girl who is really hungry before dinner, but doesn't like the offerings suggested by the neighborhood animals. Not a lot of tension or plot here, but the illustrations are definitely above average.
