Don’t play with your food … spin a plate, make a napkin rabbit, or balance a spoon on your nose without this book! A delightful compendium of table tricks, silly verses, and fun things to do with common foods and utensils. WHISTLING WITH OLIVES will show you how to entertain (and educate!) small children at the dinner table, amuse yourself at formal soirées, or just make a really cool sound using a common table olive. Charmingly illustrated [by the author] throughout, this book is guaranteed to add a generous helping of silliness to any meal.
