The Gulps

Rosemary Wells and Marc Brown deliver a humorous and heartwarming chapter book about the Gulp family, a group of bunnies whose diet of Jiffy Chips and Winky Twinks causes their RV to break down on vacation. This unexpected event leads them to Farmer Spratt, who introduces them to the joys of gardening, cooking fresh meals, and physical activity. The story cleverly uses slapstick humor and relatable characters to inspire children and parents alike to embrace healthier lifestyle choices, making it an excellent tool for discussing nutrition and exercise with early elementary readers.

With their trademark wit and wisdom, Rosemary Wells and Marc Brown present a groundbreaking?and side-splittingly slapstick!?story which introduces the importance of healthy habits. When a fast-food fanatic family of bunnies set out vacation, they pack their RV full of TVs, Jiffy Chips, and Winky Twinks. But when the weighed-down vehicle wheezes to a halt in the middle of nowhere, Farmer Spratt saves the day by showing the Gulps the value of a fresh, home-cooked meal and the lasting benefits of physical activity. The Gulps' transformation is sure to inspire a generation of super-sized kids?and parents?to turn over a new leaf!
