Inthought it would be a better story. My 18 mos. old grandson seems to like it ok but I thought it would talk about eating and hungry. Got it from a British vendor. Quick service and cool to have it printed in England. Therefore, slight differences.
Tankard has a distinct style of art and I love it. This is a great story. It is told quite simply and that's at least half of why it works so well. I read it for my niece and my nephews and they loved it, too. ...but it lives on MY shelf.
"Me Hungry" is a cute, witty story with unusual, interesting pictures that I think most young readers will enjoy. It has a real comic book feel to it, which is something fun that most early books don't offer. I gave the book four stars instead of five for two reasons. First, because the book's plot relies on caveman dialogue and illustrations, it's difficult for an adult to read to a child. I bought this to read to my 9-month-old, and while she really enjoys the pictures, it's hard for me to convey some of the action (like running away from a tiger and bonking into a mammoth) without making sound effects or over-explaining. I think I'll save it for her to read on her own in a few years. Second, I don't like the author's choice to introduce the main character's name three-quarters of the way through the story. This is a nit-picky point, but I felt awkward bonding with the caveboy and his adventures and then finding out at the end that I should have been thinking of him as Edwin the whole time.Overall, I expect this will be a big hit with the early reader crowd.
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.
I am so glad I found his books! Grumpy Bird is an instant hit with 3 year olds, Boo Hoo Bird is super sweet, and this book is funny! We loved the caveman-like speech and illustrations to go with it! I read this first and giggled, then read it to the 5 and 4 year old I watch, both wouldn't put it down. I plan to read it to my preschoolers in the fall! I recommend all of his books!
Me Hungry is a simple, but original children's book. All illustrations are roughly drawn with pen and then digitally enhanced, giving the illustrations a crisp, yet handmade look.In Me Hungry! , Edwin is very hungry, but his mother and father are `too busy'. He begins to explore other, rather difficult means of getting his food, but Edwin isn't having any luck. This all changes when he meets an unlikely friend who shares something in common with Edwin; he is hungry too! The two pair up and find themselves `too busy' for dinner. I would highly recommend this comical book for children from age 2 to about age 7. Be prepared to read it over, and over, and over again!Reviewed by Elaine Russo for Book Boo ([...])
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.
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.
