Hilarious interplay between the text and the illustrations becomes more complex and funnier as the rhyming story rolls on. "Parfait" has a picture of a parfait on the facing page; "not parfait" shows a picture of a mallard duck. The rhymes and pictures get more and more ridiculous (shar-pei, toupee, gourmet buffet, hooray! Flambe!, etc.), great fun for adults as well as kids. The final "not parfait" shows the empty dessert glass, and the final word - "spork" - shows the original duck holding a spork and licking its bill. Very goofy and silly! ( )
