Harry Hungry! -written & illustrated by Steven Salerno published by Harcourt Children's Books, 2009.

Harry's tummy is rumbling and growling... and Mamma's snacks for him are not nearly enough. Soon Harry is out the door and devouring everything in his path -with his alarmed parents in hot pursuit.

“Salerno's bright, sweeping illustrations and offbeat perspectives instantly capture this tiny tot's insatiable energy, which is made all the funnier by his incongruously innocent-looking kewpie 'do. The chomp of Harry's mouth reverberates across the page, as does the grrrrrrgrrrrrrr of his prodigiously rumbling belly… Children will delight in growling loudly along with Harry's tummy, turning story time into a rumbling, tumbling feast"-Kirkus Reviews

"To the retro-sixties line and colors popularized by such artists as Mo Willems and Bob Shea, Salerno adds an anarchic, very contemporary energy that’s all his own"-Horn Book
