About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in the midst of a 'hangry' phase, where a missed snack leads to a monumental meltdown. It is a perfect tool for parents who want to help their children recognize the physical sensations of hunger before they turn into uncontrollable outbursts. The story follows a young lizard monster whose quest for a hot dog is thwarted, causing him to grow into a skyscraper sized giant in a fit of rage. Through humor and lighthearted action, the book validates the intensity of a child's feelings while showing that a little food and a lot of patience can restore balance. It is best suited for preschoolers and early elementary students who enjoy funny, high energy stories and are starting to develop self awareness about their own emotional triggers.
