Review

The creators of Tuck Me In! (Dean Hacohen & Sherry Scharschmidt) return with another interactive book for toddlers. In this title on each two page spread an animal announces that it is hungry. The animal is on one page and the food attractive to that animal is opposite. The reader is able to turn a flap/half page to reveal the food with a bite or disappearing. The narrator keeps the reader moving until the final spread where the dish is prepared for the reader. The illustrations are not too busy and show the animal and the food clearly. The book could start conversations around healthy eating. This should be a great addition to toddler story times. (One caveat - be prepared to tape the flaps back in - little hands will be turning the flaps a lot!)

Overall Book Score: good
