Sitting Down to Eat

A young boy's snacktime is interrupted by a visit from an elephant. As soon as he moves over to make room, they are joined by a tiger ... and a hippo ... and a big blue whale ... and soon a full menagerie, each insisting there's room for one more. With his trademark marriage of story and song, Emmy Award winner, Bill Harley tests the boundaries of his young hero's patience and hospitality. Young readers will delight in counting candles on the birthday cake that is among the many favorite foods to be found in Kitty Harvill's vibrant illustrations that capture the energy and rhythm this whimsical tale.
