Our comments:

“Adam Kay’s ‘Amy Gets Eaten’ is a grewsome yet hilarious book, which explains what happens in our bodies when we eat food. Despite getting eaten, Amy (a positive and chirpy piece of sweetcorn), explains in child-friendly language the journey she takes from the mouth, through the stomach and out again into the toilet. Although told in the style of a narrative, this is really a non-fiction book that teaches young children the science behind some of our human anatomy.

Throughout the story, while travelling through the small intestine, a wise old raisin teaches the reader how different food types help to make your body strong, active and healthy. The children get opportunities to interact with the book and recap, through cartoons, where the sweetcorn has travelled. Readers are also invited to make opinions on the strange food combinations the character of Noah has chosen to eat. EYFS children will read this over with story times ending in fits of laughter.

A highly recommended short picture book for younger children.”
