About the Hungry Horriss

The world is in serious danger of being brought to an end by a little furry monster with an appetite the size of a planet.

Smelly, irreverent and highly disagreeable, this is a monster unlike any other. He loves to fart, eat Brontosauruses for breakfast and Dodos for dinner. Surely it’s just a matter of time before he fancies a bit of human?

The cleverest men in the world have been wracking their quite substantial brains over what to do about it. There’s just one substance that might save us from extinction and so a cunning plan must be hatched. But can their hapless henchmen carry it out?

Discover the real reason behind the extinction of the dinosaurs, the disappearance of the dodo and tigers in Africa, and why the moon doesn’t always look quite so round.

Your child will learn that small can be powerful, small can shape the world, and that being greedy is never good.

PRAISE FOR THE HUNGRY HORRISS

"Great New Children’s bedtime read!"

"I was recommended The Hungry Horriss by a friend and in need of something new for the children, I bought a copy. It is such a breath of fresh air, we all loved it and it is a decent bedtime read, unlike some books that are over in minutes! The character is original, cheeky, hungry and there is so much scope for future Horriss adventures! Thank you!"

"Two New Talents to Storytelling"

"How exciting to discover a new pairing in children’s literature. The Hungry Horris by Marc Bolton & Adrian Lewis is both engaging & well written. My 4 grandchildren, ranging in age , from 3 years to 11 years old all enjoyed it immensely. We all look forward to another story from this great team."

"My 5 year old’s favourite!"

"This a lovely book. I bought it for my 5 year old and it became his favourite straight away. He asks for it each night and sits there giggling away. It’s funny, captures the imagination and the art work is great too. Highly recommended."

"Horriss is has landed!"

"Wow! What a gem! A new character not only for kids but also for adults to fall in love with. Illustrations are crisp and bold. Can't wait to follow Horriss on more of his adventures!"

"Fun and funny for kids and grown ups!"

"Loved this book. Bought it for my nephew but read it first and really enjoyed it! It's got great characterisation and is a fun, funny story. Not just me though! My nephew loved it too. Highly recommended!!!"

"Superb illustrations and a great story!!"

"Superb book. Amazing illustrations that my toddler is fascibated by while my 7 year old absolutely loves the story. It's got a great ending. Great value and would highly recommend!"

"Beautifully lllustrated, Bursting with Imagination!"

"What a beautiful book! Ordered this book for my niece who immediately took to the expressive pictures and loved flipping the pages to see more. The story of different Horrisses and their signature characteristics are entertaining to both adults and children, while the Hungry Horriss's eating adventures are humorous and imaginative. A great gift for children perhaps in the 5 to 10 age range -- lots of onomatopoeia (sound words) for fun reading aloud, and great for younger ones to grow into a higher level for self-reading. Looking forward to ordering it for my friends' kids too!"

"Perfect bedtime story!"

"Lovely book. My 5 year old loves it. Beautifully illustrated. Will recommend to all my friends."

"Great Bedtime Story"

"Great story with great illustrations. My son loves it and it’s his favourite bedtime book."

"What a fun story!"

"The first night we read The Hungry Horriss with our kids (ages 6 - 8) at bedtime they were so excited they couldn't stop chatting about it. The next day ... they gave up iPad time to have another read! The illustrations are fantastic and the story is really funny. They are now imagining all sorts of Horriss's and what they could do and can't wait for the next one. We hope it comes out before this one gets dog-eared from use."

"Great book"

"Lovely childrens story with beautiful illustrations and very imaginative reworking of history and the world around us. Highly recommended..!"

"Hilariously funny, well written and brilliant graphics."

"I have shared this book with young and old, they all found the character Hungry Horris very endearing and funny."
