Gretchen Rubin On Purpose with Jay Shetty · Jan 2021 Why people recommend it
The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Ann Hoberman is a delightful and humorous children's rhyming book about a quirky family and their demanding children with very particular culinary preferences. This charming story has earned praise from several prominent figures across different podcasts for its engaging verse and enduring appeal to young readers. Russ Roberts spoke about the book on EconTalk, noting on one occasion that it is a magnificent rhyming children's work comparable to the best of Dr. Seuss while discussing poetry with Zach Weinersmith, and later remarking during a conversation with Erik Hoel that it is one of his absolute favorite titles for slightly older children. Similarly, Gretchen Rubin endorsed the book when she appeared on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, including it alongside other classic children's literature during a final segment dedicated to sharing her top book recommendations. Listeners and hosts consistently highlight its clever rhythm, memorable characters, and ability to captivate children beyond the toddler years, making it a cherished staple for family read-alouds and poetry appreciation.
