Jerry Picks a Snack

By Samuel DenHartog

A sunny trip to the park leaves Jerry tired, happy, and suddenly very hungry. After swinging high, reaching for the monkey bars, and whooshing down the slide, he heads home with a little tummy that wants something before supper. What follows is a playful, gentle journey through one of childhood's most familiar moments, choosing the right snack.

In the kitchen, simple choices turn into a small adventure as Jerry looks at crunchy, chewy, sweet, and soft possibilities with Mom nearby to help. Apples, bananas, crackers, cookies, bread, peanut butter, and three different jellies all become part of the fun as Jerry learns to slow down, think, and decide what sounds best. Along the way, he also explores drink choices, practices using words for what he wants, and learns that waiting can be part of the adventure too.

With the difficult decisions made, Jerry enjoys his snack and drink, every bite enjoyed from his booster seat. Snack time becomes a cozy little triumph. The story ends with a full belly, a calm heart, and the quiet pleasure of pushing a toy bus across the floor with its chunky little passengers. Warm, playful, and full of toddler-sized victories, this story turns an everyday routine into something comforting, recognizable, and fun.
