About the Book

An adorable board book about a hungry little monster who will eat everything, including...YOU!

Book Synopsis

What else can I eat?

The little monster is hungry. What can they eat? A slice of pizza! But the monster is STILL hungry, so they gobble up the plate, the pizza box, the fridge...until the only thing left is the child reading the book. Burp!

This adorable board book will make the young picky eaters and food lovers in your life giggle at the absurdity of eating inedible things. Toddlers will love hollering along with the repeated text of "I'm still hungry. What can I eat?" until they squeal with delight when the insatiable monster finally notices them!

"I'm Hungry! allows for the youngest of readers to participate in the story's refrain, guess what the chronic eater will gobble next, [and] share in appalled fascination at the creature's appetites...This simple and silly story will likely endure many an encore reading to its audience (and withstand nibbling on its corners).
