An excellent, creative and fun way to get kids to eat healthy.
Perhaps t-shirts with little veggie people colored all over the shirt by children would be a good illustration.

I have long realized that words with "r's" in them are funny- like grovel and cherub. Got a real chortle out of your title. Never forget Bugs Bunny's "ultra maroon." Pete Faber

You can always use a food she doesnt like and actully smear her clothes in it.Let him or her stay in the outfit for half a day.Do this every day for a week and just maybe the little darling wont chew on her/his clothes anymore

Very cute story and it is just like a child!!!
8/1/2008 11:37 AM PDT
When I read this I could see all the creative words run through my mind like a movie. I love how you took the not so yummy vegetables and put it on the shirt. I also liked how the mother was telling the story and at the end you here the kid say it for dessert great Job Aunt Jayne

I love this until the last paragraph. Why would Marley like eating vegetables when the vegetables caused her to stop eating and chewing on her clothes? This seems to be a forced rationale. I like it more as a story of a mom's problem solving creativity. But that's just me.
Thanks
Thanks

You are most definantly the real deal! Best of luck as I pray your talent will take far.

This is my favorite of your submissions I've read so far. It does need some editing and proofing, but it's funny and engaging, and it flows well. Good work!
7/24/2008 6:32 PM PDT
Great rhythm and flow!
7/24/2008 6:14 PM PDT
This story was fun to read. I wish I had young children to share it with.
7/24/2008 3:27 PM PDT
Great!!! :)
7/23/2008 11:07 AM PDT
Excellent Book
7/23/2008 10:44 AM PDT
This is quick, easy to read, and hilarious. As far as children's books go, I don't think that you can get better. You really understand your genre, and this is excellent!
7/23/2008 6:55 AM PDT
This is delightful. I am sure this will be on shelves someday,.
7/22/2008 6:56 PM PDT
Great!

WOW!!! Fantabulous! Delicious! I love it! Love, Julie Evans XOXO

That was very fun to read.
7/20/2008 7:06 AM PDT
this was a very good story that would be great for children as well. any way you could have illustrations with it?
7/19/2008 12:22 PM PDT
One suggestion: the line 'had lost all its taste and lost all its flavor' would flow much better with "had lost all its taste and lost all of its flavor". It would match the preceding sentence in rhythm that way. Otherwise, a completely adorable and wonderful story! Bravo and good luck!

I really like this and I'd love to see it illustrated. My only advice would be to tidy the grammar in the intro paragraph. Good luck!
7/19/2008 8:06 AM PDT
this is sooo cute!
7/19/2008 6:35 AM PDT
I really have to share this one with my friends with small kids!

Dr. Seuss has nothing on Jayne Bonilla! This piece is poetry at its best. Just great for kids of all ages! So cute and witty; a definate winner!!!
7/18/2008 5:26 PM PDT
Loved it! Would recommend to all.

7/18/2008 11:22 AM PDT
Excellent! I agree, the next Dr. Seuss!
I do think that the following lines could use a bit of revision:
Her sweatshirt, her back pack, her gym shorts she’d savor,
had lost all its taste and lost all its flavor. -- consider, "she had savored" and lost all "their" taste and "their" flavor
The pajamas she ate instead of her meal,
no longer were scrumptious. They lost their appeal. -- consider, "she had eaten" and "They had lost"
Her swimsuit that used to be wet from her drool,
now Marley’s bikini gets wet from the pool. -- Consider 'her swimsuit no longer gets wet from her drool,"
This is definitely a WONDERFUL children's story

Adorable. Cute. Funny. Easy to read. Perhaps the best author of childrens books since Dr. Seuss. A can't miss.

Fabulous rhyme!
(Just one typo in the last line - 'resonded' should be "responded.")
