Sterling Children's Books says; "Would you like a bite of frizzle frazzle hotchy potch? How
about a plate of mushy gushy bloobarsh? NERP, says
our hero. Nerpity nerpity nerp! (That’s “NO” to you!) With
nonsense language and humorously expressive illustrations,
this delightfully silly picture book tells the story of two picky
eaters—one child, one pet—of indiscriminate species, a multitude
of supposedly tasty goodies, and one surprising solution to a
familiar childhood situation. Sense language and inventive dishes like squishalicious
wumpa glump and yumptious chickamoo. Perfect for picky eaters: though the dishes in this book don’t
resemble any food we might know, they gently encourage
both fussy and more adventurous eaters to try new foods
and vary their eating habits."
I love the fun and laughter which come along with reading "Nerp!" to the children we love. This book is sure to become a family favorite. Great book to add to your library . . . or to give to a child you love. Consider having fun making up your own "language" and then create a book of your own - complete with illustrations!
