About the Book
Do you know a dog that likes to sit by a chair, waiting for food to drop—or be thrown—on the floor? It’s what all dogs do. Or is it?
In author Aachi K. Machi’s The Dog That Didn’t Like Leftovers, you’ll meet a very special dog named Lucy. What makes Lucy special? She doesn’t like the food the baby drops on the floor, especially because it’s mushy. You’ll meet Crunchy Carrot and Awesome Avocado as they come alive to present their nutritional merits in an effort to help Lucy’s dilemma of avoiding baby’s leftovers.
The Dog That Didn’t Like Leftovers is an innovative approach to finding healthy food choices fun and affordable! It provides opportunities for conversations at the dinner table and helps create positive interactions between people and their pets.
