Monster Food

Daisy Hirst's 'Monster Food' is a charming and funny board book that explores the diverse and often absurd eating habits of little monsters. With a playful rhyming text and offbeat illustrations, it introduces children to monsters who eat everything from conventional foods like noodles to unconventional items like shoes and rakes. This book is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, offering a lighthearted way to discuss food preferences, individuality, and acceptance. It normalizes the idea that everyone, even monsters, has unique tastes, making it a comforting read for children who might be picky eaters or those who simply enjoy imaginative humor.

What do little monsters like to eat? Daisy Hirst infuses a bright, funny board book with her offbeat charm. Some monsters eat peaches. Some monsters eat pears. And then there are monsters who eat only chairs. Some monsters like noodles and some prefer stew, but there’s always that one you’ll see eating a shoe, or . . . a rake? Picky little eaters, adventurous eaters, and born jokesters alike will see themselves in this comedy of cuisine, perfectly suited for the youngest (and hungriest) of listeners.
