This book was so fun with adorable illustrations and I'm sure kids are going to love it! I loved seeing the monster make his sandwich and I loved how creative all the ingredients are. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Cute, funny and some laugh out loud moments.

Really enjoyed the emphasis on those gross food options and I know kids will love having to say how much they wouldn't want to eat a slimy maggoty sandwich!

Great fun!

Deliciously funny, interactive picture book which will leave little monsters/readers giggling. Great fun!

This is a cute and silly picture book and a lovely addition to the other two! Kids LOVE farts so this will make a lot of kids giggle like crazy!

Once again love that this book talks directly to the reader!

All my elementary school students will be laughing out loud at this tale.
How fun to see a monster and his take on a delicious meal. The comparison between the monster's diet and the reader's diet will be quite a contrast and quite funny. The sound effects written in bold script is sure to send everyone into hysterics.
Sure to be a hit!

This book had us giggling and smiling the whole time. It’s full of silly words and concepts that the kids loved. After reading my kids were presenting to be monsters all night long.

A fun, interactive story that offers great vocabulary development and descriptive illustrations. My young children giggled throughout, as the monster insists on sharing a ‘delicious’ monster snack! This is a wonderfully engaging picture book for all young children.
With thanks to Quarto Publishing for the digital review copy, via NetGalley. This review is voluntary, and all opinions are my own.

This was a cute story with perfect humor and a variety of questionable snack items included. The art style is adorable, the pages dynamic and interesting for kids to look at, and the monster is incredibly expressionate. Depending on the age of the children the farting references at the end may be a touch inappropriate, but this is otherwise a great and colorful book!

What a fun book!!
What happens when you overeat something that might not be the best for you? I will let our hungry monster tell you [in his hilarious way] and you can laugh your way through this marvelous book.
Kids and adults alike will love this book, it's great illustrations, and will spark some fun [and important] discussions.
Very well done!!

😂oh my this is the funniest monster book I have read. I enjoy the way the monster in the book speaks directly to the reader .. or your little monster!

The monster food really is something to behold! The illustrations are great. I found this very engaging and a fab idea for kids to laugh along and get involved with. Happy to see there are also other books to explore.

Many thanks to the Author, Publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this delightful book.

Directly from the mouth of my four year old daughter "Monster food is silly and I love it!"

She particularly laughed when the monster topped their sandwich with a strawberry...and the monster toot!

Are you a Hungry Monster? follows a monster as they make food for the monster reading the book, however, the book monster feels like their recipe may not be the right recipe for the reading monster.

I loved this book for children- it got my daughter to talk about delicious foods and non-delicious foods. She's generally not a picky eater, so she was really curious as to why the monster was eating all the gross things and it really made her giggle. She spent the rest of the evening making monster food, and if that's not an endorsement about how fun this book is, I don't know what is.

This books is a lot of fun and the illustrations are colorful and inviting. We both really loved that the monster was wearing glasses.

This is a great book for young readers to pick up and read by themselves, and it's also good for group reading as it will bring lots of laughs. The book can be expanded on and children can be asked to make their own monster sandwich. A discussion can be had about what gross things can be used to make a similar monster sandwich. Ours was made out of dog food, toenails, and tree moss. It was quite the adventure!

This was such an adorable and funny book. It felt so interactive, kept me engaged the entire time and had me laughing. I loved the illustrations and the use of different text styles to note change in tone. Are You a Hungry Monster is a wonderful book about food, snacks, and friends. The hungry monster wants to share a monster sandwich with you. When you the reader don’t like his sandwich the monster keeps adding things to the sandwich. In the end the hungry monster sandwich makes even the hungry monster’s stomach gassy and upset.

As a Kindergarten ECCAT that reads to the kids everyday, this is a must! It has so many fun interactive parts for the kids to engage in. It also includes some of the favorite things kids like to laugh at and think are hysterical at this age. I definitely will need this book in our classroom library!

So silly! I love when a kids' book breaks the fourth wall. The kids love it, too! This book reminded me of Spider Sandwiches by Claire Freedman. Kids love gross things and this is GROSS!

Are you a hungry monster or just a regular kid? Our monster makes himself a meal that he invites us to join in on, but maybe we will sit this one out! This book is wonderful for interacting with the reader, be it a parent reading to kids, or a teacher sharing the story to a class. I was not sure about the premise but this was so funny and I’m sure kids will have a blast.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing and NetGalley for the digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my goodness! I have never heard my six year old daughter laugh so much at a book before. This was absolutely brilliant, we both loved the interactivity of the book. It initially took her by surprise when I read and answered what she just said so this book fully engaged her constantly. The end she was grabbing her sides in stitches, the mamma Mia quote was great. We loved the illustrations and did wonder there was green gas bubbles at the start but it all made perfect sense! We would recommend this to anyone of any age as I think they’d enjoy.

Delightful pictures, accompanied by clever text, tell the story of a monster hungry to eat just about anything. Youngsters will laugh out loud at the humorous things this monster tries to share.

This is a great book to read to kids if they’re in the mood to laugh. The way that it is written makes the book interactive since the monster always asks the kids if they want to eat the sandwich the monster made for them.

The illustration matched the story line, providing images that are comedic and crazy like the sandwich the little monster makes. Overall, I liked the story line and that the book was made to be interactive with kids.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book!

Sweet and colorful pictures that were initially reminiscent of the Gruffly, which is a book my daughter loves. I wasn't overly impressed with the ending and fart humor but imagine slightly older kids would think very silly and fun.
