Gregory, the Terrible Eater is a 1980 children's picture book written by Mitchell Sharmat, and illustrated by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey.Gregory is a young goat who is normal in every way, except for one thing: he refuses to eat trash like a normal goat, and instead wants strange foods like eggs, bread, fish, and fruit. His worried parents take him to the doctor, who advises giving Gregory the food he likes mixed with small amounts of trash in order to get him to eat it. Soon, Gregory learns to enjoy eating like a goat. But when he starts eating everything in sight, his parents have to find a way to scale it back a bit.This book was featured in the Reading Rainbow episode of the same name, which aired on July 25, 1983. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Gregory, the Terrible Eater / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: Gregory's parents try to train him to eat garbage by giving him human food, which he likes, mixed with small amounts of garbage. He starts getting a taste for everything, so much that he starts eating everything in the house, including his father's necktie and his mother's sewing basket. | |

Big Eater: When Gregory starts enjoying the taste of trash, his appetite grows and soon he's eating everything in sight. His parents have to curb the habit before he starts eating his mother's clothes hamper and his father's toolkit. | |

Extreme Omni-Goat | |
| Gregory, the Terrible Eater / int_6e9bc71b | comment |
Extreme Omni-Goat: Gregory's parents are very concerned because he doesn't want to eat normal things like cans and boxes, and wants these bizarre concoctions, like scrambled eggs, tacos, and peanut butter sandwiches. They eventually start him on a regimen that centers around compromise — they'll let him eat what he wants (e.g., some peas) if he also eats what they think he should (e.g., the can); they realize it's worked too well when he starts noshing on Dad's ties and Mom's sewing kit, and have to tell him to scale it back a bit. | |

Radish Cure | |
| Gregory, the Terrible Eater / int_73a7d1b3 | comment |
Radish Cure: Gregory is a young goat who likes human food, but his parents are trying to get him to eat garbage. It works too well, and he starts eating everything in the house. So they go to the dump and bring home a huge meal for him: eight flat tires, a barber pole, a broken violin and half a car. He eats almost all of it, then gets a terrible tummy ache, tossing and turning all night. The next morning, he requests a reasonably sized breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two pieces of wax paper and a glass of orange juice. | |

Instant Taste Addiction | |
| Gregory, the Terrible Eater / int_84e52fb4 | comment |
Instant Taste Addiction: Gregory the goat defies Extreme Omni-Goat by refusing to eat trash and only wanting to eat human food. His parents give him human food mixed with objects, and then he loves it. This backfires, as he becomes a Big Eater and he won't stop eating his parents' belongings. His parents get him out of the habit by having him eat many objects from a junkyard until he ends up with indigestion from it. | |
