I haven’t heard of that book! I’ll look it up
I am a big fan of children’s illustrators, especially from that period. I have a few posts about chlildren’s books from different eras https://chawedrosin.wordpress.com/category/childrens-books/on my blog.
The way I got over my weird revulsion was to just think positive thoughts about the sound. Like: A person eating is a beautiful thing. They’re relishing their food. And just sort of willed myself to see it as a something lovely.
It might be harder with cellophane. But unwrapping something is a wonderful thing, usually, isn’t it?
