Neal Layton Serves Up Hot Food: Nice!

Neal teams up, once again, with Michael Rosen to bring the viral poem-turned-picture book Hot Food: Nice! to life - a deliciously chaotic tale of a too-hot potato, a well-intentioned (but hapless) dad - what could possibly go wrong?

In this hilarious read-aloud, Dad decides to take a bite of a fiery potato despite the obvious warnings. Chaos ensues. Neal’s bold and brilliantly funny illustrations crank up the slapstick and every bit of family dinner mayhem is captured with playful energy. From the dramatic potato bite to the expressive splash of steam and surprise, Neal Layton transforms a simple dinner disaster into pure picture-book gold. His joyful style and knack for comedic timing make Hot Food: Nice! a standout, from cover to final page.
