Yummy Yucky (Leslie Patricelli Board Books) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Learning about opposites has never been more fun - or funny - than with this winning board book. Yummy!Spaghetti is yummy, but 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 book, YUMMY YUCKY stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.

I am a speech therapist who works with children ages 0-3, and this book is probably one of my favorites to use in speech therapy. Many of my clients are kids who have not started talking by age 2, and nearly all of them will sit for this book. Visually, I like the simplicity of each page, with a single illustration on each page, and all of the "yummies" on the left, and the "yuckies" on the right. Also, the simple repetitions are good for stimulating speech and cognitive development.Many people in their review of this book have mentioned the more questionable "yucky" items, such as hot sause, earwax, and sand. Now I've presented this book to dozens of kids, and I've never had behavior problems result from this book. However, part of its enjoyment is the humor that derives from the yucky items - if you find the phrase "Burgers are yummy, boogers are yucky" distasteful, then I recommend trying Laura's "Big Little" or "Quiet Loud" books instead. These books will give you the same development benefits, without having to venturing into your personal definitions of "yucky"!
I got this book for my shower along with the Quiet/Loud book. Now that my son is a year old, we've only recently gotten interested in these books. I do understand others' comments about not wanting to introduce boogers and earwax, but really why not? They're not bad things... they're just yucky. While my son is still a little young to really get the humor of this book (it really is very funny), he loves the colors and the pictures of the baby on each page. And I think he does get the concept of things that are yummy (we make yummy noises at every meal) vs things that are yucky (every time he goes to put something he shouldn't into his mouth, I repeat "that's yucky. we don't eat that)All things considered, an entertaining and unique children's board book.
We introduced this book to my toddler at an age when he was eating sand in the sandbox and grabbing pretty much anything else he could get into his mouth. This book was a fun way to explain why we don't eat sand, kitty litter, or worms. He loves this book, and we do too! We all always laugh out loud when reading it. The illustrations are really colorful and bold, and the text is downright funny. Some people are offended by the advice not to eat earwax or boogers, but if you think it's not bad to warn a toddler about that (or even funny!) then your family will love this book.
This is a wonderful book and my toddler loves it! It has simple pictures and bright colors to engage young ones. I love the simple, but very effective design of the book, yummy things on the left and yucky things on the right. These pairs include: spaghetti/worms, blueberries/blue crayons, soup/soap, sandwiches/sand, mommy's cookies/mommy's coffee, chocolate sauce/hot sauce, apple pie/mud pie, burgers/boogers, eggs/earwax, fish sticks/fish food, and ice cream/too much ice cream. The last page includes several small pictures of more yummy (pizza, banana, milk, toast, peach, cheese, cupcake, and chicken) and more yucky (garbage, dog food, dish soap, apple core, kitty litter, toilet paper, stinky socks, and a centipede) things. This is a very fun book to read to your children, who are able to learn important lessons about what is ok to eat and not, while they have fun.I referenced being a vegetarian because many of the negative reviews seemed to be from vegetarians upset that meat foods were listed as a yummy. Well, I would have preferred meatless yummy foods, but since most people are meat eaters, I wasn't surprised or upset to see them under the yummy foods. Nor was I upset to see a few treats in there either. I think the point was to pick very common and basic foods that MOST children are familiar with. The book works very well for getting the point across of what items are safe or not to eat. I try not to take my baby books very seriously.Anyway, I highly recommend this for young children, as well as any books by Leslie Patricelli.
We have a blast reading this book - it cracks my kid up everytime! Leslie's illustrations are bright and textural, and the baby character is hilarious! We've read all three of her books over and over. I see that there are a couple more coming out soon -- looking forward to reading them as well!
LOVE Leslie Patricelli books. So much so that I have bought about every book has available. Cute simple stories. Easy to read. Baby seems enthralled by the pictures-compared to other books I read her where she prefers to chew on the book. When I read her LP books, she looks at the pages, reaches for the baby, tries to turn the pages.
Look, my 2 year old absolutely LOVES this book. It's a quick read before bed time and she knows all of the words. Why 3 stars?B/c I actually noticed her imitating things from the book she wasn't doing before. Which are of course, the YUCKY things. Now she thinks it's great to eat her boogers and ear wax, two things that were not happening prior to her obsession with this particular book. :(We have Leslies's other books as well and those are great. But right now, I'm having to deal w/ a toddler digging in her nose, and ears, then eating it. Of course, I know kids do this, and she may have been one of them to do these things at some point, but manâ¦.I definitely would have preferred not to be the one to introduce her to the behavior.
Adorable books and simple to read to my 8 month year old. The colors and simple text keep my baby's attention and he likes to look at the baby. I recommend to parents with babies under 1, though you can definitely use this book longer as you point out things happening in the book.
