This was hilarious - a hungry monster creates the perfect lunchtime snack to share with the monster reader and I can just imagine kids who are reading this, giggling their heads off at the monsters creation and its ingredients and disagreeing in a comedic way with what the monster is making.

I even let out a couple of laughs and that last page got me good!

Thank-you Quarto Publishing Group, Guilherme Karsten and NetGalley for this Digital Advanced Readers Copy, in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this adorable children's book! It is a great addition to the "Are you a Monster" picture book series. I thought the illustrations were colorful, detailed, and child friendly. The monster is so cute! I think children would really love this story, especially since it is interactive and written in second person point of view. This would be a book I would use in my classroom to help teach point of view. Second person is hard to find. The story includes some "gross" concepts like yucky food and farts (both things kids love). Overall I really thought this book would be a great addition to my classroom and home and would recommend it!

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely hilarious. My 4 and 6 years olds loved this one, I’ll be sure to buy a physical copy once it’s released. Kids will find this so funny, I also love how interactive it is. Would be great to read in the classroom as well.

This book is extremely silly and gave me and my kids the giggles! They loved this silly monster book and would love to read it again and again.

This book is so darn cute. Who doesn't love a hungry monster? This monster has a cookbook quite different from what ordinary kids eat - he is a monster, after all. Every page brought a smile to my face. This book would be great for home or the classroom.

Thank you so much to Happy Yak/ Quarto Publishing Group/ Frances Lincoln and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Monster is hungry and is making himself a sandwich but he thinks the reader is a monster and wants to eat it too, but the reader doesn’t like his sandwich. This was so gross and so hilarious but so very amusing to read.

I really loved how interactive it was, children reading along will be both engrossed and grossed out by reading it. It’s so very funny and keeps you gripped on what will happen, you’ll laugh out loud so many times reading it.

The illustrations are perfect with this story and are an integral part of the reading experience. This is honestly such a perfect whimsical read and children are going to just love it.

This book was brilliant and super fun!

The story was well written, it was easy to follow and understand and there were a lot of yuk moments when the Hungry Monster was making his snack recipe - it is certainly one that we won't be trying!

The illustrations in the book were great and they really helped to bring the story to life.
It has some really lovely images and it is a fun and engaging read too!

It 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

This story is wonderful! I loved the interactive storyline that kept the kids entertained the entire way through. It was funny, goofy & silly! A sure way to make any classroom giggle nonstop.

The illustrations were wonderfully done, and the typography and use of fonts really aided in the story. Helping the reader changes voice and tone throughout to go along with the story.

I would highly recommend this story for any classroom! It's a must!

Thank you, netgalley, Guilherme Karsten & Quarto Publishing Group, for the eARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the ebook arc.
A monster is trying to sharing sandwich made of stinky socks and ear wax will definitely make littles laugh. Then he’s shocked to find out that kids love fruit and he decides to try a strawberry only to get an upset stomach from his sandwich and blames the fruit. It’s a cute little silly book teaching sharing and kindness.

Are You a Hungry Monster? is an adorable picture book about a hungry monster and his unorthodox lunch. I LOVED the illustrations in this one! They are super cute & engaging! I think this would be a great read for kiddos. I also liked that the text was really engaging with the children reading this book, it was a conversation with the reader which I enjoyed.

Thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing, & Guilherme Karsten for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!

This book was so fun and a joy to read! I have zero doubt that there will be many kids everywhere that are on the floor laughing out loud while reading this book. It's quirky, unique, and well-written. The short(er) length allows readers to be engaged in the story from start to finish. Additionally, the organized plot keeps the story moving at a comfortable pace, and the author doesn't dwell too long/short on ideas. This also helps to maintain the reader's interest. As for the humor, lots of kids out there will find it hilarious. The author really knows how to make the directed audience laugh, and it is highly impressive. Lastly, the illustrations work so nicely with the humor and fun that the story and writing both have. The colors are bright, and different line lengths/types are used to help convey texture and smell.
Bravo!

Having raised a son myself, I can see this picture book wildly appealing to young children. One of the things that I really admire about author and illustrator Karsten is the author’s ability to really engage the readers. This monster wasn’t just talking **AT** readers. Throughout the book, the monster was engaged in a full blown conversation **WITH** them.

When I turned the page, my first reaction was that the illustrations were too simplistic. However, as I continued to turn each page, I found myself answering the monster’s questions. This book is a perfect example to other authors on how to reach children through the use of picture books—with engaging questions and limited graphics that encourage young children (many of whom have short attention spans) to focus on the subject.

I can see children loving this book, asking it to be read and retread to them multiple times. I can’t wait to read Karsten’s future works.

I received an ARC of “Are You a Hungry Monster?,” by Guilherme Karsten from NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group, Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and Happy Yak in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Are You a Hungry Monster is a hilarious story about a Monster that makes a very unappetizing sandwich for lunch. This story is bound to make you and your child laugh as he tries to convince you to try his sandwich instead of yucky foods like fruit and pasta.
