The Story.
~~~~~~~~
Like many of Julias books, this is a ryhming story. The story line is very simple and with an average of 10-13 words per page, it is an ideal story for young children.
The story begins with 'hungry seal' waiting for his 'meal', 'busy cow' brings the meal. There are other animals gathered around the ... ...and then move on to chocolate mousse.

Julia Donaldson is such a popular author that I'm sure most of you out there with young children will have seen one of her books, if not actually own a few yourselves.

As we turn the pages we see that each animal has a question to ask or an answer to give and a variety of foods such as pasta, vegetables and finally the pudding are all brought to the table.

Don't just grab it, says angry ...
