Are you wondering I am reviewing this children’s book? Why, of course, because I read it. My kid is 17 months old and shows an affinity to books. He loves books with big pictures, so when I got this book for him, he was ecstatic.
Yummy Yucky is a boardbook which means no matter what my tyke does, he can’t tear it. How I wish more things in this world were toddler-proofed in this way! The main character of this book is a cute little guy in diapers and a strand of hair sticking out on h More...

This is a board book about opposites. A little toddler tries two different items on each page and says if they are “yucky” or “yummy.” Ex: “Apple pie is yummy. Mud pies are yucky.” I loved the illustrations in this book. They were very simple, yet easy to focus on and understand. The story line is very basic and easy to follow along with. It’s also a great book because it helps toddlers begin to recognize opposites. This would be a good one to read over and over with your toddler and soon they c

We got "yummy yucky" and "quiet Loud" as gifts, since then I've bought 5 other books from Leslie Patricelli and will most likely get the others that I'm missing.
I love the illustrations! Is it wrong I want to rip the book apart and frame some of them? no, seriously.
I have fun reading the simple books to my daughter and she has fun reading them back to me. It always produces giggles and a good time. I also feel that this helps to teach children ab More...

This series of books by Leslie Patricelli is one of my all time favorites. I own as many as I've been able to get my hands on. They are board books and are just as hilarious for a one year old as an 8 year old. Especially if the 8 year old is reading it to the 1-year old. I can't recommend this books enough! Love the illustrations, the presentation of concepts, the potential for "listener" participation, and all the giggles they produce!

7.) Yummy Yucky By Leslie Patricelli
Patricelli, L (2003). Yummy Yucky. Candlewick.
Illustrated By: Leslie Patricelli
Summary: This book is great for toddlers. The book will help children distinguish between what is good to eat and what is not good to eat. I think this is a good book because toddlers love to put everything in their mouths. Pictures are fun and I think toddlers will think the book is funny.

A satisfying and colorful exploration of what is yummy and what is yucky. The unnamed baby is cute with rosy cheeks and two pink nipples, sitting in his diaper and exploring food. The last in the series of yummy/yucky pictures has the baby with his face green and sideways on the table (too much ice cream). This seems a little alarming and a bit severe (and too close to Mr. Yuck).

I rated this book with 5stars cause *I* don't have to read it to my baby over and over and over and over and over... It's perfect for teaching little ones to read, and they learn opposites at the same time. This board book is part of a series, and my daughter has been "reading" it since she could talk. Very easy for little ones.

After letting my one year old go through a huge pile of board books at the library, this is the only one that kept her attention. Not only that, but she asked me to read it to her over and over again. I can't tell if it's instructive to her or not, but at least it's quite entertaining.

24 months - all of Leslie Patricelli's books are a hit with O. And this one is as well... She always thinks it's funny to see the bad things this little baby does. With this one I'd say what he's eating and she'd tell me if it's yummy or yucky. Great for engaging your child in the book.

Ethan and I both laugh out loud every time we read this book (Hudson likes to pretend he is reading it and gets the funny parts too). Great early reading book- Ethan and Hudson both love it. Simple enough that Ethan thinks that he is really reading it.

I read this to Piper at B&N today. She liked the pattern of each page (__________ is yummy. ___________ is yucky.) and was squealing with delight the last few pages. I liked the contrast of good and bad things to eat. Fun and a valuable lesson!

This is a board book for toddlers explaining that some things are yummy, but others are yucky. Like some things such as spaghetti are yummy, but sand, crayons and worms are yucky. This book is also good for the children to learn opposites.

Maybe I'm just lame, but any book that categorizes "Mommy's coffee" as "yucky" (while I understand the rationale behind it) is suspect. My son likes the pictures, and particularly enjoys saying and looking at garbage, so we'll keep it.

My 18 month-old son loves this book! We have several Leslie Patricelli books. My daughter loved these and passed them down to her baby brother. He likes all of them, but Yummy Yucky is his favorite!

Alice adores Patricelli's illustrations and the books are always a hit with June. The last two pages with many illustrations are always a big hit for June to identify.

Caleb loves these books. This one teaches things that kids shouldn't eat, and its presentation is pretty funny. I wish it had included chemicals/cleaning supplies.

Found this in Old Navy of all places, didn't love it as much as others in the series. Do I remember why? No. But I bought the others and not this one.

Awesome book! The best part of the book is the peach at the end of the book. My only issue is that fish sticks are yummy. I think that is debatable.

This book was yummy! However, the author claims worms are yucky and I must disagree.

Any book that talks about boogers and worms being yucky has got to be entertaining!
