Original Book on Book Dash: How do you eat? (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause on each spread to let your child guess how the animal might eat before reading its answer; then compare the guess with the picture and words.
- Themes
- Different ways animals eat: Animals describe eating in varied ways, including catching shrimp, licking up ants, eating prickly pears and swallowing stones to break up food. The pages present these behaviours as informative examples rather than judging one way of eating as best.
- Miri’s curiosity and appetite: Miri asks animals how they eat, then is too busy eating to answer the question of the best way to eat. The ending is playful, but it does not settle what Miri thinks is the best way to eat.
- Worth knowing
- The pictures show these behaviours without graphic detail.
