I'm a big fan of picture books where someone gets eaten. I'm also a big fan of picture books with monsters with silly names. This one is excellent on both counts!

A lot of fun to read with my son. He is really good at making the story sound dramatic.

A fun tale of siblings facing the nastiest of beasts and coming through. The detailed and amusing illustrations really add to the story. A great book for teaching sequencing a story.

Now THIS is how you do a book about kids getting eaten: whole, in a gulp with their colouring book to play with inside till their sister rescues them, and then the monster who ate you gets eaten too (and that monster too, etc.) and I assume all get colouring books as well.
