Enrique's craving for sugar is getting out of control, and his father has forbidden him to eat anything sweet. Enriques birthday is coming up and he wont be allowed to help his grandma with her baking. Its not fair!
Enriques cravings multiply by the minute. Even numbers in his math book start to look like yummy desserts. His life is over! The next day, though, he comes up with an ingenious plan to outwit his father.
Unfortunately, his mother soon catches on. But she has a plan of her own. On Mondays and Fridays only, after school, Enrique may have any dessert he likes, but none during the rest of the week. What a sweet deal!
On his first outing with his mother, Enrique orders a huge triple banana split, with strawberry, chocolate and vanilla scoops of ice cream, nuts, sprinkles and chocolate syrup. Later that night, Enriques stomach aches, and El Coco, a fearsome creature with a huge mouth and sticky hair, haunts his dreams.
Enriques mother wonders if he will ever learn to eat in moderation. Will he be able to bake with Grandma? And what about having a special treat on his birthday?
