Biting can be good and biting can be bad; it all depends on what you bite on. Oh, the delight when biting into an apple or a peach! But it is not so lovely if you bite on an ice cube or a nut while it still in its shell. Things may not turn out so well. And never, never bite another child; biting must be reserved for something that will bring a smile – delicious, nutritious food.
All in rhyme with loads of charming illustrations.
Be sure to take a peek at WHO TOOK MY BANANA? another adorable book by Sally Huss.
For years I have wanted to do what I am doing now -- writing and illustrating my children's books. Electronic drawing pads and e-books have made it possible for me to create and publish my own books -- and do so in quantity. In the past, Harcourt Brace, Ten Speed Press, Thomas Nelson had only published a few.
The books were always squeezed in between art I needed to do to fill 26 Sally Huss Galleries (my degree was from USC in Fine Art); and licensing demands for clothing, greeting cards (American Greetings), purses, bibs, dinnerware, wallpaper; and the daily King Features Syndicated inspirational panel I do for newspapers called Happy Musings.
Through the years my art and writings have found their way into homes from Hollywood to The White House and perhaps even your house or your mother's.
Along with art, I have had a long history with tennis. In fact I was raised to be a champion (U.S. Junior and Wimbledon Champion, then a semi-finalist in the women's division at Wimbledonin singles and doubles). Later I became one of the top senior players in the country. This experience lead to my writing and illustrating a couple of books on the game -- EIGHT GOLDEN RULES FOR HOW TO PLAY YOUR BEST TENNIS (endorsed by Billie Jean King, Mary Carrillo, Dick Enberg, etc.) and LOVE LADIES LEAGUE TENNIS.
I mostly read the books of the French Philosopher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. For me, these present the clearest and most practical explanation of life and man's structure in it that I've come across. These light-filled pages send my heart soaring and give me food for my present work.
Presently I write, illustrate and paint in my Solana Beach, California studio where I live with my husband Marv. I also still play a bit of tennis and walk the beach daily.
This book is fairly typical of the Huss series. It is written in rhyme to present a lesson. The first half of the book focuses on good biting, specifically the kinds of foods that are delicious to bite. These include fruits like apples and peaches, desserts and vegetables, and healthy snacks like nuts. In the second half of the book, the author moves on to bad choices for biting like other people, ice cubes, and fingernails.
The rhymes are a bit off in a few sections, but the message is spot on for young children who habitually bite the wrong things. In my opinion, the book is most valuable for parents and teachers who wish to discuss inappropriate biting with young children.
