When Evangeline's alarm clock shrieks, the day is NOT off to a good start because. . . SHE'S HANGRY! But after breakfast, Evangeline is back to feeling right and skips happily down the street. Yet, at school, as lunchtime looms near. . . Yes, you guessed it. . . SHE'S HANGRY! The afternoons are always lots of fun. Except, as she leaves the playground and spots her waiting Mum, UH OH. . . SHE'S HANGRY, AGAIN!

When at last they make it home, things go from bad to worse. It turns out that it's not only Evangeline who is HANGRY! Can Evangeline and Mum work together to find the perfect snack before it's too late?

WARNING: There may be a HANGRY monster lurking inside of you too. . .

This fantastically funny and bouncy story gives voice to a very real experience. Being hungry brings out some big, and sometimes confusing, feelings in children (and grown-ups too), making it the ideal book to share and read together. The best addition to bookshelves that include: I Really Want the Cake, One Hungry Dragon and The Kitchen Disco.

This brilliantly bouncy story - packed with Blunt's trademark bold, characterful and comical illustrations - explores a very real experience for both children AND grown-ups... -- Pam Norfolk * The Lancashire Evening Post *
Kathryn Wanless's fun, bouncy rhyming text in this amusing (and relatable) picture book about getting cross when you're hungry is full of fun and great to read aloud. . . A humorous book about an important developmental life skill: food and starting to understand our bodies. * BookTrust *
what is delightful about the book is when Evangeline begins to recognise that others can feel hangry too and she can help them overcome this particular feeling. The sheer vivacity of Blunt's illustrations help readers picture how things are, and the book is perfect for sharing at home or in the EYS setting. Come to think of it, adults reading the book with little ones will also profit from its messages! * The School Librarian *
A cautionary tale of the monster lurking within all of us if we get too hungry! * Creative Steps *
Jaunty. . . comical. . . this zany story will resonate with parents of many young children. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
