How to Convince Your Friend to Try a New Food

My 9 year old daughter, Celia, wrote this illustrated booklet for school--I guess the (organic) apple doesn't fall far from the tree! I wish I was clever enough to scan in the funny illustrations that go with it:

How to Convince your Friend to Try a New Food, by Celia Goldfarb

First, say to your friend, "You're right, you win, don't eat it." (picture of a couple of very mad-looking little girls glaring at each other over a table)

If that doesn't work, tell him/her you will give them something and under your breath, whisper/murmur "Psych!". (picture of a happy girl giving a skeptical girl a present.)

If that doesn't work, say "It's soooooooooooooo good." (You're kidding, right?)

If that doesn't work, yell "It's rude to say something is bad before you try it!" (Slap a hand over your mouth after saying that.)
(Picture of an astounded girl gasping with a hand over her mouth.)

If that doesn't work, demand, "Try it right now!"
(Angry girls are pictured at a standoff)

If all that doesn't work, hold your fork to your mouth and say "I have a dream for (your friend's name.) For example, I have a dream for Sophie to try this food."
(Picture of reluctant girl now saying "Well....")
