A little courage. A big surprise.

I Will Not Eat You

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Scott Magoon

Theodore likes his cave quiet. When a bird, a wolf, and a tiger pass by, he considers eating them—but he isn’t hungry. Then a fearless boy arrives with a wooden sword and a whole lot of noise. Will this visitor become dinner, or something Theodore never expected? Adam Lehrhaupt’s mischievous storytelling and Scott Magoon’s bold illustrations turn a tense encounter into a funny adventure about courage, perspective, and connection.
