My Little Sister Ate One Hare became a fast favorite for my middle child. The little sister in the story eats the strangest things, starting small:
"My little sister ate 1 hare. We thought she'd throw up then and there."
The little sister goes on to eat more and more disgustingly delicious critters, building from that one hare to nine lizards. Gross! Each verse includes a rhyme and repeats previous verses to build the suspense and silliness. It is great for toddlers and preschoolers who are starting to count and rhyme, especially those who have a little sister of their own at home.
But what about number 10? Spoiler: It turns out the one thing Little Sister can't stomach is peas, and she upchucks all the critters she has swallowed! Kevin Hawkes created delightfully silly artwork to show just what that might look like.
