Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming

Mr McGreely plants his dream vegetable garden. When the vegetables begin coming in, he finds he must continually be outsmarting some rabbits. The illustrator draws the rabbits and Mr McGreely with expressive faces.

This is a read aloud book, for sure. The author's choice of words, like tippy-tippy-tippy and muncha, invoke the image of children yelling those out, especially as they are repeated throughout the book. The words are very active and feel like they are describing what is happening in the illustrations. Or is the illustration showing what the words feel like. The author and illustrator are in sync!
