My 4 yr old grandson, Caleb is a very fussy eater when it comes to cereal. We have tried numerous brands, none of which he took a liking to. I bought a box of Rice Krispies because I like them While i was eating my cereal he asked me what it is. I told him. He asked "do I like that kind?" I told him "I am not sure, but you can try them and if you listen while you eat them, they talk to you" He tried them. Listened to them while he was eating them. He has now renamed Rice Krispies, "the talking cereal"
