The hungry monster

 

The book is perfect for  children aged 5-6

 

 

Deep in the mountains lived a monster.

Every hundred years he wakes up. He is very hungry.

“I want some breakfast” he said.

He went down the mountain to the village. He saw a boy “uuum, a boy for breakfast”.

“Don`t eat me!” said the Jimmy, “I´ll give you some food.”

Jimmy took the monster to his house. He ate three plates of chicken and rice.

“I´m still hungry!” said the monster.

Jimmy gave the monster more food. He ate five plates of spaguettis and ten sausages.

“I´m still hungry!” said the monster.

They went to the restaurant. The monster ate twenty pizzas and fifteen plates of rice with twelve eggs. After that he ate six cakes.

“I´m still hungry!” said the monster.

They went to the shop. The dragon ate all the fruit and tomatoes and mushrooms.

“I´m still hungry!” said the monster.

Jimmy locked in his pocket. There was one candy. He gave the candy to the monster. The monsters exploded!

“Hurray!!” shouted Jimmy. “The dragon is gone! No more boys for breakfast!”
