This is a silly book about a monster who goes to a restaurant but doesn't seem to be able to tell the waiter what he would like to eat. He relies on his two friends to figure out what he wants and tell the staff. The problem is the staff doesn't much care for the Hungry Thing and children aren't allowed in the restaurant. But the Hungry Thing sneaks them in anyway and they help him get what he wants, and everyone at the restaurant learns a little something about what "fair" means.
This book is a great story about acceptance and what fair means. In the Hungry Thing's case, fair means that he needs someone to help him order at a restaurant by clarifying his words to the staff. Not everyone needs this kind of help, but it's okay that the Hungry Thing does. ( )
