 If you don’t want your toddler learning the word ‘yuck,’ this is NOT the book for you.  Hurricane already knew it and takes great pleasure in saying it, so this book was right up his alley.  It’s all about what animals would eat for supper–”What’s for supper?  This baby eats a worm.  A wriggly worm, tugged out of the lawn?  That’s not our baby’s supper. YUCK!”

It goes on and on with a spider, a rotten egg, a rat and more until we get to warm milk–YUM!  But what would all those animals say to warm milk for supper?  YUCK! The drawings are huge and emotive–they make you feel what the words say.  The gross looks gross and the baby drinking milk out of a sippy cup looks so content with milk spilling down her cheeks that Hurricane got a craving and went running off looking for milk.  When he couldn’t open the fridge, he came back to where we had been reading and said, “Yuck!  Again?  Pleeeese?”  So I guess he liked it too!
