Life in the Fridge Cathy Travis

When the light goes off in the refrigerator, a family of colorful, familiar items spring to life, sitting down to the dinner table. The young son (Musty, the mustard) tells how he laughed at a kid at school that day, and then endures his family's anger for making fun of the new kid. The little boy doesn't want to admit he was wrong, and struggles with what to do to keep from going rotten in the fridge. This fun, beautifully illustrated, story book (for ages 4-6) teaches kids the value of being nice, through humor and alternative scenarios. It serves as a lively bedtime story, back-to-school story - and it offers insight into kids' social encounters.
