As an official picky eater and lover of oatmeal, I found this book flat. This Bluebonnet nominee for the 2010 calendar year is fine, but not one to search for. The story's main character, Katherina-Elizabeth disliked the oatmeal her family ordered for her while on a transoceanic trip. The tiny worm who ate that oatmeal managed to grow and grow from the oatmeal and other meals purged by children all over. He finally settles into Loch Ness as the rumored "Nessie."
The author does close with a note to the reader explaining this was a story she had heard as a child and other nuggets concerning its creation.
