Book Overview

Michael Rosen's hilarious viral video poem is brought to life in picture book form by award-winning illustrator Neal Layton.

Young Michael thinks his dad knows everything. That is, until the fateful day when his family sits down to eat, and the potato is a bit hot. Michael knows to blow on the potato before eating, as does his brother and his mom. So why does his dad pop it straight into his mouth? Michael Rosen's amusing retelling of the tale of his dad and the too-hot potato has become one of his most widely beloved poems, with his own performance of it inspiring a meme: "Nice!" A funny slice of family life, told in delightful repetitive text, Hot Food: Nice! is published for the first time as a picture book with bold, silly illustrations sure to charm readers of all ages.
