About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one is feeling 'hangry' or struggling with the frustration of not getting exactly what they want right away. It is a playful, rhythmic story about a monster who tries to eat everything in sight, from rocks to trees, only to find that they do not taste quite right. Through humor and repetition, the story mirrors the trial and error of a toddler discovering their own preferences. While the monster begins his journey grumpy and famished, the tone remains lighthearted and silly. It is an ideal choice for children aged 2 to 5 who are beginning to explore healthy eating habits or who deal with picky eating. Parents will appreciate how the book validates a child's big appetite and intense cravings while steering them toward a positive, healthy resolution involving a simple piece of fruit.
