Benny hates vegetables and loves burgers. So much so, that his mum tells him he will turn into a burger and – lo and behold! – he does! He is chased, Gingerbread Man style, by dogs, cows and hungry boys who want to eat him. There are twists in the tale, as Benny is rescued (or is he?) and converted to a love of vegetables (but what are the consequences?). The wildly humorous illustrations flow across the page with a real sense of movement.
