Reviews

Praise for "Let's Have a Bite!: "

"People often take a stab at children's books after reading "Goodnight Moon" to their own kids . . . It seems Mr. Forbes simply has crazy rhymes going through his head." --"Wall Street Journal"

"Playful rhymes and charmingly intricate illustrations." --"Miami Herald "

"There's no shortage of offbeat characters (who become even more so in Searle's kinetic cartoons), including a color-changing emu, a well-dressed narwhal, and a photogenic buffalo." --"Publishers Weekly"

"Children familiar with "Beastly Feasts!" (2007) and "Let's Have a Bite!" (2010, both Overlook Duckworth) will cheer for this third collaboration...[These poems] will be fun to read aloud, multiple times." --"School Library Journal"
