An excellent story in the tradition of folktales, Cole's Good Enough to Eat introduces a new heroine alternatnely named Scraps-and-Smells, Skin-and-Bones or Sweets-and-Treats. When an ogre demands a bride from the town the orphaned and homeless heroine is easily selected as the bride-to-be, but our heroine has a few tricks up her sleeve. The songs interspersed are particularly fun, but the watercolor illustrations don't always march the tone of the story as well as they could. Although very sad and possibly inappropriate for younger children, this book does have its perks. A poor, ragged girl is sacrificed to the ogre in order to save the town. Her looks, terrible nicknames, and wit outsmart the townspeople and the ogre. She not only saves the town but wins in the end. However, her new name is not such a winner. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

2. I think this is a great story for children because it looks a little closer into discrimination. You don't find many children's books that have homeless people in them and this is a great way to open up a discussion about diversity amongst humans and a variety of situations and ways people live in. There is also a few rhyming poems within the story that I think children will really enjoy.
3. I think this book would be a good choice for children ages 5-8. The younger children may enjoy having it read to them and looking at the illustrations while older children could enjoy reading the story as well.
