Yuck, You Suck!

07/30/2024

A rhyming poetry collection of 16 poems about unique animals in our nature that exist because of their sip, slurp, and suck! In my opinion, this would be of interest to adults even though this is classified as a kids' picture book.

The creatures in this poetry collection include vampire bats, elephants, mosquitos, ticks, fleas, lampreys, stingrays, leeches, butterflies, jellyfish, and so on.

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

Author: Heidi E. Y. Stemple, Jane Yolen

Illustrator: Eugenia Nobati

Publisher: Millbrook Press / Lerner Publishing

⚛ pigeons' beaks work like a straw?

⚛ stingrays have teeth and they destroy their prey with their teeth.

⚛ butterflies need salt?

⚛ Jellyfish doesn't have any brain?

⚛ elephants have 40 thousand muscles?

This 2024-2025 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee book would be perfect for the "learning through fun" concept! Kids would be smiling and being entertained while they are learning important facts about common animals, birds, and insects.

📚 This book would be very much suited for a science-loving child who likes bright illustrations and cool animal facts. Humorous, creative, and lively poetry style with thoughtful layout and font choice.

📚 Perfect for kids ages 7+
