The Monster
This is the Fat Monster, Thin Monster exhibit we have just installed at the Children's Museum in North Conway. Children can choose food to put in the basket on one side and an activity on the other. Everything is weighted so if you give the monster a hamburger, and ice cream cone, a glass of milk, french fries and a piece of cake and then have him settle down in front of the TV, his belly pops out. If you just give him a sandwich and a glass of milk and then he goes snowboarding, he stays thin.
We hope the kids will get the idea.
The monster design is from Ed Emberly who has generously offered to let us use any of his designs for the museum. Ed's drawing books and monster books have been delighting children for years.

it's beautiful , and a good way to catch the attention of children about food, good job!
Fabulous! I volunteered at the Children's Museum in Cleveland many years ago and we had "The Great Green Room" from Good Night Moon. Kids went nuts when they saw it "in person" and got to go into it. My kids played in Arthur's kitchen at the Boston children's museum and just loved it. It's very cool to see books or shows come to life for the kids.
