Synopsis
Ladies are big, but ladybugs are little. Sniffles are quiet, but sneezes are loud. And while spaghetti is yummy, worms--and blue crayons, and sand, and other things too gross to mention--are definitely yucky when tasted. Amiably illustrated in a bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli's spirited board books Big Little, Quiet Loud, and Yummy Yucky star an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect. Whether you're big or little, learning about opposites has never been more fun--or funny--than with this winning trio of board books. Yummy!
About the Author
Leslie Patricelli lives in Seattle, Washington, with her husband, their two children, and two kitties. She sketched out her first childrens book, YUMMY YUCKY, when her then one-year-old son was putting everything in his mouth. "After hearing myself say ‘yucky! or ‘yummy! for months on end, this book seemed to write itself," she says. "Talking to and watching my young children all day gave me a voice and inspiration for these books. I write down what I say to them and what they say to me."
