Avocado Baby
Author: John Burningham
Illustrator: John Burningham
Publisher: Penguin
Baby power is something that exerts itself in all families - but in this picture book Burningham has used exaggeration to make his point with humorous effect. Eating an avocado suddenly turns a weedy infant into a menacing force - so Avocado Baby can push the family car, chase a burglar and put bullies to flight in the park.
