MONSTER! HUNGRY! PHONE! A hilarious, punchy picture book by Sean Taylor.
MONSTER! HUNGRY! PHONE! may not be the shortest picture book text we’ve ever sold, but it certainly comes close. Good rhyme is a rare gift but as always Sean Taylor delivers in spades. With bright, bold illustrations by Fred Bengalia, published by Bloomsbury.
Anyone who’s ever REALLY wanted pizza will relate to this terribly hungry monster who just can’t catch a break. But please, don’t eat your phone. Tempting, but not delicious.
“A starving monster calls multiple wrong numbers – including a jaguar in Nicaragua and a panda called Amanda – in his ill-fated quest for pizza. A shouty, colourful picture-book romp, begging to be read aloud with gusto” — Imogen Russell-Williams’s best new children’s books for the Guardian.
“The three words of this title brilliantly capture the wit and simplicity of this vividly imagined story… highly entertaining.”
