Yummers!

James Marshall. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), $6.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-395-39590-5

Eugene the turtle advises Emily the pig to go walking with him as a form of exercise. But walking makes Emily hungry, and she stuffs herself till she's sick. Now Eugene advises bedrest and plenty of food: ""Yummers!'' Emily exclaims. PW enjoyed Marshall's ``fetchingly silly and unpredictable tale.'' (All ages)
