"Our new family read-aloud favorite, "The Fall of General Custard" is a rhyming and illustrated tale of epic proportions! The clever narrative with its conflict resolution theme is perfectly designed to be shared, while the illustrations will bring readers back to the page again and again to discover something new in the story. Adventuresome reading for the whole family!"  TreeHouse Books

Inside the refrigerator, a food fight breaks out when greedy General Custard "foodnaps" the cherries until a brave maraschino cherry and a faithful olive demonstrate the wisdom of choosing cooperation and peacemaking over the fear and conflict.
