Yum Yum!: What Fun!
A menagerie of animals sneaks into the home of budding bakers Katie and James in this companion to Snip Snap! What’s That? (2005). The smell of fresh-baked bread attracts a crocodile, who does his best to hide behind the coat rack. Then camel, snake, and zebra conceal themselves, too, as the kids wrestle for spoons, dump bowls, and generally make a mess. The arrival of a large brown bear creates a panic for everyone, but he assures the crowd that he only wants bread, and a feast ensues, ending just before Mom’s arrival home. Visually inviting with well-balanced rhythm and rhyme, Yum, Yum! will be a read-aloud favorite. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ernie Cox
