Beware the Mighty Bitey by Heather Pindar - ADVISABLE

Beware the Mighty Bitey by Heather Pindar, illustrated by Susan Batori.  PICTURE BOOK.  Maverick (Lerner), 2019.  $18. 9781848863613

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

The mighty bitey piranhas are mighty hungry.  When mousem and then goat, and finally Bear stop by on their way to a musical party, the piranhas ask them to play a song, hoping that the rickety rope bridge will break, making for a handy meal for the piranha.  At least that’s what  they hope!

You’d better read this one first, because the surprise ending is not necessarily suitable to every audience.  It is a pretty funny look at the circle of life in nature, though.   The art lends just the right touch to this comical read.
