Book Description
An amazing Irish-language translation of this deliciously illustrated read-aloud. Little children will be hungry, hungry, hungry for more!
Tá ocras an domhan ar Stiúcai Stiúgtha. NÃl éinne a bhfuill ocras nÃos mór air. Nó an bhfuil?
The ravenous beast is hungry; in fact, he’s ravenous! But is he the hungriest animal of all? “Nonsense smonsense,” scoff the other animals, and “Hokum Pokum!” But they want to watch out or the ravenous beast might just gobble ’em up and swallow ’em down! Niamh Sharkey’s unmistakable style and stylish palette create a beautiful book that’s almost good enough to eat!
