Summary from Macmillan
At lunchtime, Mum said, "Eat up."
I said, "No thanks, I'm a bit too busy."
It's lunchtime for one little girl, but
she's just not hungry. A visiting crocodile, bear and wolf, however, are
starving. It's just as well that children taste revolting!
Nayuleska's thoughts
I
adore this book! The pretty felt-tip coloured looking drawings are
vibrant and work well on the white backdrop. That's not why I love it so
much. The animals are not scary looking. Although I'm considerably
older than the target age group, I can get scared easily by images,
especially wolves. I kept laughing because the wolf looks more like an
anteater! It isn't scary at all - even the bear & crocodile look
approachable. The book depicts just how preoccupied children can get by
playing. This is by far a 10/10 read.
