Description Marlene McKean does not eat the color green. She turns up her nose at broccoli, peas, and sprouts, offending her parents and the lunch ladies. But when a countess invites Marlene to a fancy feast, Marlene is confronted with treats galore--and something green. Maybe Marlene can try it, just this once... This fun, rhyming story about a fussy eater describes the unexpected consequences of trying new things.
