Yuck, You Suck!
Poems about Animals That Sip, Slurp, Suck
Warning: this book sucks! It bites, slurps, and sticks too.
Dare to open these pages and you’ll find ticks, mosquitos, stingrays, elephants, jellyfish, and the particularly sucky lamprey. Sixteen slurpy poems from Jane Yolen and Heidi E.Y. Stemple introduce a suction-filled selection of animals, and spectacularly sticky illustrations from Eugenia Nobati spotlight these stupendous suckers.

Reviews
Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
“The colorful, comical illustrations bring about a lively scene and show animals with highly expressive facial features. Teachers may want to add this title as a literature connection to a study on animals or animal features.” –Children’s Literature
School Library Journal
“A delightful book that amuses and educates.”—starred, School Library Journal
Kirkus Reviews
“[S]ufficient suckers and lappers of blood, ranging from fleas and mosquitoes to vampire bats, lampreys, and leeches, to gleefully put anyone off their lunch.”—Kirkus Reviews
