Yuck, You Suck!: Poems about Animals That Sip, Slurp, Suck

Heidi E. y. Stemple

Warning: this book sucks! It bites, slurps, and sticks too.

Dare to open these pages and you'll find ticks, mosquitos, stingrays, elephants, jellyfish, and the particularly sucky lamprey. Sixteen slurpy poems from Jane Yolen and Heidi E.Y. Stemple introduce a suction-filled selection of animals, and spectacularly sticky illustrations from Eugenia Nobati spotlight these stupendous suckers.
