One Little Spoonful

24 pp. | HarperFestival | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-694-01502-4 $$9.95
(3) PS Harper Growing Tree series. A mother's feeding session with her baby ("One little spoonful for your toes. One little spoonful for your nose") devolves into a battle of wills until the sated baby emits a gratifying belch. Young readers will enjoy noticing that the expressive illustrations show the mother's hair getting messier and the baby's highchair tray becoming more toy-laden, but the story's tension never derails its loving mood.
