I Won't Eat That by Christopher Silas Neal
3.0

Age: Toddler-Preschool
Food: Picky eater

Cat is bored of his yucky cat food and asks several of his animal friends what they eat. Turtle eats worms, Fox eats rabbits, Monkey eats ants, Lion eats zebras, Elephant eats grass, and Whale eats bioluminescent phytoplankton. But not all of these are eaten without complications. Some are wiggly, some are bouncy, and some are just too hard to say. In the end, a little mouse stumbles upon Cat in all his hangriness and Cat finally finds out her perfect food. Listeners can interpret the ending for poor mouse without seeing it happen.

Cat's face doesn't hold much variety in her reactions but the illustrations are large and perfect for reading aloud. This would make a great introduction to animal food chains.
