Dustbin Dad

Illustrated by Russell Ayto

About The Book

Do you leave food on your plate at mealtimes? If you do, beware, it could lead to all sorts of trouble . . .

The dad in this book has a penchant for leftover food - even the bits that are soggy and chewed! He eats EVERYTHING - unfinished sandwiches, cold soggy fries, unwanted broccoli, half eaten pies! But when, one day, he accidentally guzzles the cat's Puss-Pep-Up Powder, strange things start to happen . . .
