Synopsis :

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.

While I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs 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. An ebook version designed with a fixed layout and larger text for easy reading is also available.

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 planned series called Lisbon’s Misadventures. I’ve written the next three books in the series, and Tim Petersen is hard at work creating the illustrations. Tim is obviously a fabulous artist, and I’m excited to be working with him.

À propos de l'auteur: Rachel Branton grew up on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, so life at her house can be very interesting and loud. She sometimes wears pajamas all day when working on a deadline, and is often distracted enough to burn dinner. She writes children’s books and romance under the name Rachel Branton and science fiction and fantasy under Teyla Branton.

Tim Petersen is a restaurant manager by day and an artist by night. He loves dogs, watersports, and kids. He’s the oldest in a very large family that includes two sets of twins. I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs is his first picture book, and he had a lot of fun basing his illustrations of Rocky on his favorite real-life dog.
