I Just Ate My Friend

Author: Heidi McKinnon

What a hilarious book! The cover introduces us to the main character, a huge grimace on his vast yellow face. He has just eaten his friend! So, he is in search of a new one. He approaches many a creature, but each refuses his offer of friendship, giving reasons that he is too big, too, small, too scary …. And each gets gobbled up! How can such a tale end? Readers will want to share this book again and again, taking in what is happening and wondering at the ending. The story says much about thinking of enduring friendships. The cover will attract a lot of potential readers, and the bizarre happenings, portrayed clearly in the illustrations, whilst still leaving much to the imagination, will stay in the minds for quite some time. Choose your friends wisely! This book will surely be a favourite.
