Yummy Yucky

by Leslie Patricelli (Author) Leslie Patricelli (Illustrator)

Yummy Yucky
Learning about opposites has never been more fun -- or funny -- than with this winning board book. Yummy! Spaghetti is yummy, but worms -- and blue crayons, and sand, and other things too gross to mention -- are definitely yucky when tasted. Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli's spirited board book, Yummy Yucky stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.

Three funny, spirited board books by Leslie Patricelli explore opposites. In BIG Little, heads are BIG, but toes are little. Ladies are BIG but ladybugs are little. Clever pairings, bold graphic art and an expressive toddler in diapers make the concepts fun. The other titles are Quiet Loud ("Crayons are quiet. Pots and pans are LOUD") and Yummy Yucky ("Spaghetti is yummy. Worms are yucky"). (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Publishers Weekly Used with permission.
