I'd Really Like to Eat . .has been added to your Cart. DOROTHÉE DE MONFREID began to write and illustrate her ideas with colored pencils back in grade school. Now that she is bigger, she makes her career as an author-illustrator, writing stories published in France about cats, bunnies, elephants, stinky monsters, and even cake.

I thought there would be funny lines, or hilarious scenarios, but there wasn't :( The book is kid appropriate, there's no swearing, etc.

by Sylviane Donnio & illustrated by Dorothée de Monfreid & translated by Leslie Martin. The slightly grisly story might not appeal to everyone, but de Monfried’s Feiffer-esque watercolors most certainly will. The crocs are expressive, and the dark-skinned girl is adorably self-confident. On the whole, a nice addition to storytimes about finicky eaters. Pub Date: April 24th, 2007.

Achilles’ repeated refrain is Today, I’d really like to eat a child. Mama and Papa moan and weep and worry. Their poor baby won’t eat. Well, you know what happens when you don’t eat your breakfast, right? As Donnio points out, you begin to feel strange and weak all over. So, Achilles heads out for a nice swim. And this is when we come to the aforesaid and amusing moment of fatal retribution (well, okay, no worries: It’s not quite fatal). Needless to say probably, there’s a little girl there, playing at the riverbank by herself. ‘Yippee! Finally, I’m going to eat a child,’ Achilles.
