Osenplots! introduces a tasty alternative to the daily arguments that face children protesting against eating vegetables. As the young narrator points out, the most dreaded vegetable certainly is the onion: Ive found them in the goulash, and in the chili beans; fried up limp with liveIve found them in the salad, all rudely tossed about, though Mom knew (positively) Id simply spit them out! When Mom offers osenplots, the child has to admit to liking the sound of the word and wonders if perhaps, at last, there was a chance, perhaps, we might agree. Osenplots! uses humorous language and enchanting illustrations to lead families toward a creative and peaceful settlement of the vegetable war.
