With a fresh cast of animal characters and what they eat the creative team of Marthe Jocelyn and Tom Slaughter has produced another work in their award-winning series for very young book and art lovers.
Marthe Jocelyns simple concept of matching creatures familiar and unusual with their favorite foods is brought to life by the sparkling colors and masterfully cut paper shapes of Tom Slaughters illustrations; a first taste of modern art. And the surprise final picture makes a satisfying dessert.
Previous titles have received acclaim from Japan to Denmark, from France to Mexico. Enhancing a childs visual and verbal vocabulary, Eats makes a joyful addition to the collection.
