By Robert L. Forbes drawings by Ronald Searle

release date September 16, 2010

Product description:

If you haven't heard, the whole animal kingdom is roaring its approval for Let's Have A Bite!, this collection of delectable rhymes about animals naughty and nice. With thirty-three delicious poems by Robert Forbes and zany illustrations of each featured creature (look out for a secret critter peeping out from each page) by a master cartoonist Ronald Searle, these wildly playful rhymes and charmingly intricate illustrations will keep readers seven to seventy coming back again and again.

This book was a lot of fun to read and would be a great book for families to read together. The poems are funny and the illustrations are great. Here’s an example of one of the poems:

Rubber Ducky

My rubber ducky

Bathes with me

And boy does my ducky

Ever see

How bad I can be

So I took out

His squawky squeakee-

Now he

Can’t squeal on me

This is geared to kids 9-12, but I think all ages would love it.

This book was sent to me free of charge by the publisher through Shelf Awareness. Thank you to Overlook Press for the chance to review this book.

Happy Reading!
