Just Try It! - Hardcover

by Phil Rosenthal (Author), Lily Rosenthal (Author), Luke Flowers (Illustrator)

An instant New York Times bestseller

From Netflix star and New York Times bestselling author Phil Rosenthal and his daughter Lily comes a hilarious picture book about a food-loving dad encouraging his picky eater daughter to just try something new.

Phil has one rule about food: try everything at least once. Otherwise, how will you know what you like? His daughter Lil disagrees. She already knows what she likes--just bread and pasta with no sauce--and that's all there is to it!

When the two go to a food truck festival, Phil tries introducing Lil to all kinds of delicious cuisine, but she doesn't budge. Just when it looks like it's going to be a very long day, an unexpected mustard accident changes everything.
