My two year old is completely captivated by this book. She loved looking at all of the bright pictures and was enjoying all of the rhymes. She had the best time finding the foods she knows and asking about new ones she has never seen. The perfect gift for your own home or anyone else you know!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Food Rhymes
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2023
When You Meet a Hangry Howard written by Joe Ciccarell and illustrated by Gary Ciccarelli is a funny children’s picture book written in verse that teaches what to do if you encounter someone who has become a “Hangry Howard.” In addition to the amazing illustrations, I also loved the numerous rhyming foods the author included which made ME hungry and almost hangry while reading it! This would be a fun way to build language around foods from different cultures since the book does include a glossary of the various dishes at the end. My favorite quote was “Now when you meet a Hangry Howard, you’ll know exactly what to do. And there are Hangry Howards everywhere, sometimes it’s even you.” I wonder what inspiration children would draw from the book as they could create their own food poems with their favorite foods following their cultures and traditions. Overall, I would give When You Meet a Hangry Howard 5 out of 5 stars because I thought it accurately taught what it means to be “hangry” in a funny and relatable way. As an elementary school teacher, I also plan to use this as a silly mentor text when we get to our poetry writing unit! I recommend When You Meet a Hangry Howard if you enjoy silly stories (especially those that rhyme in creative ways) or if you or someone you know could benefit from learning more about “hanger” and what to do to combat it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Help with sounding out new words and having fun doing it!
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2023
WHEN YOU MEET A HANGRY HOWARD: At first glance, one will see a book that is beautifully illustrated in an appealing fashion for children and adults. The artwork, visually, clearly projects the author’s intent enhancing communication with his audience. Gary Ciccarelli is a nationally known artist and teaming up with his talented son Joe, presents the reader with a successfully combined creative effort by a father and son team. In reaction to the theme of the book, I was instantly taken with the fun of phonics and word recognition exhibiting the sheer joy of sounding out unfamiliar words. To children, even the names of some foods are humorous. I was especially impressed with the Glossary and pronunciation guide at the end. What fun it would be to learn to pronounce new words, focus on international foods and view the inclusive way people and cultures are depicted. We may all be Hangry Howards at one time or another! This book is so relatable, not to only children but parents who sometimes experience being more than ready to fill their tummies.

Amazing book that exposes the reader to a variety of fun, unique, and exciting cuisine (and rhymes)! The illustrations are mouthwatering and well-done, too. The food glossary at the end of the book is a fun touch. Highly recommend!
