Yuck You Suck! Poems about Animals That SIP, SLURP, SUCK

This collection of animal poems turns its attention to creatures that bite, slurp, cling, or suck. Its pages include ticks, mosquitoes, stingrays, elephants, jellyfish, and lampreys. By gathering animals with very different bodies and behaviors around these actions, the book presents a playful look at some of the ways animals feed or interact with the world. The poems place familiar and less familiar creatures together, with the lamprey among the animals highlighted for its sucking behavior.
