Yuck!

Authors: Mick Manning, Brita Granström

In this large format picture book with clear print on creamy paper, creatures come in different shapes and sizes and they find different kinds of food appetizing. We see a baby bird scoffing a big pink worm, a fledgling owl gulping down a rat head first and two baby seabirds tussling over a raw fish. Would your baby fancy any of this? A good rhythmic text gives us the answer! Each page begins with ‘What’s for supper?’ and ends with ‘That’s not our baby’s supper!’ Robust pictures – quite loosely coloured but defined by a bold line – show us baby creatures with their (to us) unappealing meals. The last illustration shows them getting their own back, yelling ‘Yuck!’ at the human baby’s supper – a mug of milk. Big and bold enough to read to a group in the nursery classroom, this book will also be perfect for sharing at home.
