Illustrated by
Stephanie Peterson.
A large, brightly colored, heavily outlined animal sprawls across each double-page spread with a lift-the-flap mouth that opens to reveal what the creature is feasting on. The competent rhyming text and simple artwork should hold appeal for young children, although it's rather unsettling to see all the prey smiling from ear to ear (or fin to fin, or antenna to antenna) as they are being devoured.
