I don't know about you, but I am haunted by the words, "Mom, I'm hungry." Usually I hear them when I have done my necessary tasks and have just gotten comfortable and opened my book. How do they know? The time I really hate it is 15 minutes after they have finished eating. It's like why didn't they eat more!!! (o.k. breathing has calmed and rant has finished.)
My six year old picked this one out.
Synopsis
This book is about a baby named Harry. He becomes hungry yelling, "Harry Hungry". The mother says "in a minute... in a second" and flies in with a snack before Harry gets too upset. But then, Harry keeps wanting to eat. He eats the refrigerator and the garden hose, both of which are just appetizers. He keeps eating and they have to call in the army. Will he ever stop? Read to find out.
My Thoughts
My kids really liked this book. They thought some of the things Harry ate were pretty funny. They laughed a lot. As a parent that is music to my ears.
While this is not my favourite children's book, I think parents will like it or at least empathize with Harry's parents. It is nice to know that you are not alone with the plight of a hungry child. Parents all over the world try to figure out what to stuff in their kids' mouths next.
So read this book, perhaps you will get some snack ideas. Garden hose anyone.
