Read all the Food Group books! | The Big Cheese is an irresistible hunk of cheddar who realizes there's more to life than winning. | This is a book about a bad seed. A baaaaaaaaaad seed. How bad? Do you really want to know? | The Good Egg is a verrrrrrry good egg, indeed! Until one day he begins to crack (quite literally) from the pressure of always having to be Grade A perfect. | Everyone knows the cool beans. They’re sooooo cool. And then there’s the uncool has-bean. ..Always on the sidelines. Is he cool enough to be their friend too? |

Read all the Food Group books! | The Couch Potato has everything within reach and doesn't have to move from the sunken couch cushion. Could fresh air and sunshine possibly be better than the views on screen? | This cookie has never felt like a smart cookie no matter how hard she tries. Could a dash of creativity and a sprinkle of confidence be all she needs? | The Sour Grape holds grudges for everything! But could a bunch of forgiveness be enough to turn this sour grape sweet? |
