A Few Bites
by Cybèle Young
Age: Preschool+
Family: Younger brother, older sister
Food: Trying to make a kid eat what he doesn't want to eat
I felt like this was a lot stronger than "A Few Blocks" mainly because the imagination and the real world blended more cohesively, with each one distinct and recognizeable. You can see the imagination laying on top of reality. For example, an outline of a ferocious dinosaur is set atop a cat walking down the hallway; the outlines of spaceships and aliens are set atop kitchen countertops, curtains, and a table. As the imagination slips away, we can see the unreal world slowly disappear, e.g. as Ferdie's dinosaur tail slowly fades away.
A perfect celebration of imagination, creativity, and eating "unlikeable" food.
