Yummy, what a treat! What do the anteater cub and the jaguar eat? Yummy, bon appetit! And how do the macaw and the armadillo cub eat? Feeding time is one of the most important times in the day-to-day life of babies, toddlers, and all other animals. Poetically, this book shows what and how some of Brazil’s most beloved animals eat. What’s more, it shows that human babies and the babies of other species have a lot in common. ‘Yummy’ is a sensitive and amusing piece of work which, in the end, brings yet another surprise: what do we do after we’ve fed ourselves? Now it’s the little caiman’s turn to tell us what he does… The delicate illustrations depict this special moment of the day for the cubs together with their parents. Any resemblance is no coincidence!
