Boy Who Lived on Oatmeal Street : Austin Macauley Publishers : 9781398404038 : 03 Mar 2023 : Does anyone really like plain oatmeal? Sammy and his dog, Leroy, sure didn't. And why should they? No brown sugar. No raisins. Just boring oatmeal! And, unfortunately, that was the only breakfast they had, every morning. And since Sammy's nana liked knitting better than children, she was no help either. One day Sammy and Leroy decided to discover what the neighbours were having for breakfast. And oh, what a revelation that was! Frosted Flakes! Eggs and Bacon! And then, to Sammy and Leroy's utter horror: another house where oatmeal was served. But what a difference! There were so many exciting additions that the oatmeal was barely recognizable! When Sammy grew up, that bowl of oatmeal-turned-delicious inspired him to become a breakfast chef, which goes to show that any idea, no matter how dreadful, can be turned into something exciting if one just uses a little imagination.
