Bugs are for the birds!
Lisbon is hungry and it’s hard to wait for dinner. When her animal friends try to help her find something tasty to eat, the real the problems begin! Join Lisbon on her funny misadventures.
Each beautiful illustration is designed to inspire the imaginations of children. An activity page at the end of the book allows for more fun as they search for special items in the … special items in the illustrations.
This version of I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs has been designed specifically for ebook with a fixed layout and larger text for easy reading. While this is a great read-aloud book for parents, teachers, and other adults to share with children, we have chosen fonts that are similar to the way children form letters for easy recognition as they begin to read on their own. The print book is also available in 8.5” x 11” format.
Author’s Note:
I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs was written for my daughter, who was two when I wrote this story and didn’t like salad, but now she’s four and a half and loves it—if I give her plenty of salad dressing! (But don’t worry—this isn’t a book about eating salad.) Of course birds, cats, and dogs have a very different idea of what’s good to eat, but through his fun adventure, Lisbon learns there is also food meant just for her—and it’s good, especially compared with all the offerings from her animal friends.
My daughter and I privately call this book the “Ice Cream Story” (she LOVES ice cream so there had to be ice cream involved), and now whenever something funny happens, she says, “We should write a new ice cream story about that.”
And we have! I Don’t Want to Eat Bugs is the first book in a planned series called Lisbon’s Misadventures. I’ve written the next three books in the series, and Tim Petersen is hard at work creating the illustrations. Tim is obviously a fabulous artist, and I’m excited to be working with him.

Granddaughter likes it
Good book this was my sons bed time story for about a month before I couldn’t read it again without going crazy.
Very nice funny book
My granddaughter loved this book and had me read it over and over
I read this one to my 2-year-old son at night. He enjoys it.
It was a good book from characters to details so that’s why I rated this book 5 stars.
Grandson loved the story
It’s a book with promise. I enjoyed it right up to the point where Lisbon meets her friend with Icecream. That part was unnecessary. Defeats the purpose of reading it to a picky eater. No child wants to eat Nutritious food with Icecream on his mind! (Atleast mine doesn’t). Plus I wish that Lisbon was vegetarian. It is SO difficult to find books where characters are vegetarians!
Grandson really enjoyed this book.
I read this story to my granddaughter and she loved it. I have read it to her twice now.
It’s a great read to read with your children. t’s a giggle book.
Children loved it
This book was interesting. The illustrations were done well. My 3 year old found it entertaining. She commented on the pictures and about what it would be like to eat these different things that the girl was offered to eat. I even enjoyed it.
The story and the illustrations mingle perfectly. Ideal for children of all ages.
I read this story to my three-year old grandson and he loved it. It is well written and entertaining. I think most children would enjoy it!
