Gobble It Up!
by Jim Arnosky

The cow eats the plants.
Then it poops.
The poop draws flies
To start the loop.

The fly eats the poop.
The frog eats the fly.
The fish eats the frog
So it won't die.

The bug eats the plant.
The chicken eats the bug.
You eat the chicken
And give Mom a hug.

Plants grow, creatures eat,
The food chain gives each one his treat.
First the plants, then big eats small.
But our bright sun starts it all!

Gobble It Up is a simple picture book with a cute folk song on the CD inside. The song about the food cycle will have you dancing and singing. Before long, you'll know how the food cycle works! But, you won't be able to stop singing the tune! When others hear you, they'll want to sing too! Pretty soon everyone will be singing while they find their place at the top of the food pyramid.
