Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK!

My toddler and I fell in love with this book when he was only nine months old and heard it a library story time. Now, four months later, we still read it all the time. The text is simple but the message is timeless and the illustrations are eye-catching and humorous. This is not only a staple in our library but will be a book I will give to friends as they start reading to their little ones.

Me Want More

Me Hungry! is my 3 year olds FAVORITE book. It lets him be a being who has needs, overcomes obstacles, gets tough and learns independence, cooperates with others and becomes self reliant! WOW. You can read this one a million times and never get tired of it. Tankard's best!

Fun and funny

We sought this book out at the library after falling completely in love with Grumpy Bird. There's a lot less to it, as far as words -- just a few per page. But it made my 3 year old laugh out loud... and the pictures are just as whimsical and fun (especially the adorable mammoth). If you're new to Jeremey Tankard, I'd certainly steer you to Grumpy Bird and Boo Hoo Bird first. But if you just can't get enough, like us, Me Hungry is very cute... and much beloved by the preschool set.

Found at Library - Now I'm buying it.

What a great book! We borrowed this book from the library and my 3 year old son loves it so much I'm buying it and the other two books from this author.

Simple, engaging story is a winner

We actually found this book at our local library. The bright, goofy illustrations caught my eye, so we brought it home. My 18 month old son loves this book. He points and smiles at the rabbit and the porcupine, laughs out loud when Edwin runs into the mammoth, and loves to mimic the few sparse words that make up the story. Does it stand up to repeated readings? Yes, every night for almost 6 weeks, and neither my husband nor I have been tempted to hide it rather than read it again, unlike some other books I could name.
