Customer Reviews

Very Fun Origin Story

I have had the book for a while, but my wife just read it to my boys for the first time last weekend. She loved it. Well, my boys already love it, and that is why they asked my wife to read it. The author and artist do a wonderful job at creating a history for the Lock Ness Monster. Anyone with kids will love this book (and so will the kids).

Picky eaters and supertasters

This is a wonderful book. It balances themes familiar to childhood along with actual information on why there are such people as picky eaters in the world. Thank you again, Alice Flaherty.

A zany, fun Loch Ness story offering quite a different premise.

A.W. Flaherty's THE LUCK OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER: A TALE OF PICKY EATING enjoys fine drawings by Scott Magoon as it tells of a little girl who tosses her oatmeal overboard all the time. She's a picky eater - but a small worm who swims alongside an ocean liner bound for Scotland finds much good about her throw-aways - too good, perhaps... it's a zany, fun Loch Ness story offering quite a different premise.

Fun for kids and adults

Everyone in our family loved this book. The drawings are great and the story is inspired.
