Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Monster fans can count up to 10 with One Hungry Monster: A Counting Book in Rhyme by Susan Heyboer O'Keefe, illus. by Lynn Munsinger. The expressions on the boy and on the monsters bring this book to life. Once the boy assembles all 10 ravenous beasts, he brings out different amounts of food (including "5 pickled pears"), allowing readers to count to 10 again.

From Booklist

Ages 2-5. This board book has all the jollity and mischief of the original 1989 picture book. The adventures begin with one hungry monster beneath the bed, ready to be fed. Then two monsters chew up sneakers, and so on, up to 10. A young boy tries to keep his mischievous guests under control, but it's a losing battle as they make their way through the house in search of food. Rollicking rhymes describe the action as the little dickenses slide down banisters, swing from chandeliers, and wreak havoc in the kitchen. They won't be appeased until all 10 are seated at the table being served by the boy--one jug of juice, two loaves of bread, etc. The boy's exasperation is clearly evident in the comical illustrations, which are just quirky enough to keep everything from being too cute.

More About the Author

Coming this October is Susan Heyboer O'Keefe's adult debut novel, FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, a tale of violence, passion, revenge, and redemption that continues the dark story of Mary Shelley's creature. Susan's first title was the bouncy, best-selling counting book ONE HUNGRY MONSTER. Sandwiched between these two very different books are twenty years of bunnies, eggplants, cemeteries, nuns, mysteries, comedies -- and more monsters.

A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Susan grew up in a town so small that not even people in the next town over had heard of it. (Amazing but true.) She now lives in another small town, which a visitor from Manhattan once described as the "end of the world." Since you might be eaten by bears trying to find it, she recommends that you visit her at her bear-free website at www.susanheyboerokeefe.com.

2.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: NOT THE WHOLE STORY!!!, October 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Hungry Monster : A Counting Book in Rhyme Board Book (Board book)
A few years ago, I borrowed this book (the complete version) from the library and it quickly became a favorite of my 2 sons. Being their fav, I memorized the whole rhyme and even told it to one of their preschool classes on Halloween. They both asked for the story all the time so when my daughter was born, I knew that I would soon be telling it to her also. When I found it in a board edition I thought I had struck gold! I received my shipment today and was pleased as punch. The first thing I did was sit down with my daughter to pass down a much loved story, until I got near the end of the book and it ended before the actual story was over!!! I was so disappointed in this version and so were my sons! Good thing I know the complete story by heart. The original, full version would get a 5 star rating from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read for Mom & Sons, October 17, 2006
By 
This review is from: One Hungry Monster : A Counting Book in Rhyme Board Book (Board book)
Me and my 2 1/2 year old boy just LOVED this book. He is very much into numbers and has been counting for a few months, so I got this book for him. It's one of the few books he sits for through the whole story. He especially loves the page for "four" ;).

It is also good for his older brother, who is in kindergarden and learning how to read / spell the number words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome kids rhyming book, July 3, 2006
This review is from: One Hungry Monster : A Counting Book in Rhyme Board Book (Board book)
This is one of my favorite kids rhyming books. I stumbled upon this book at a local library and ended up buying it. It's a fantastic book with great pictures, reads fast at bedtime, and you don't mine rereading numerous times to your kids which they request over and over. I love to buy this book for new moms. There are deleted pages from the small board book verus the larger library book.
