Why read it?
1 author picked Hungry Roscoe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hungry Roscoe is hilarious. I love it. I always feel that humor is so important in picture books, and funny books were always my favorite as a young chap.

From Timothy's list on food-centered picture books.
