Have you read Undead Pets: Return Of The Hungry Hamster? It's a good book, guaranteed to make you hungry as a mule. Neeeeiiiigggh!! Ha-ha, do you like my horse impersonation? Anyway, if you don't know what it is I have to explain in full detail: Joe receives a magical Egyptian amulet from his Uncle Charlie, and wishes for a pet on it. It is here that Dumpling appears, eating crisp crumbs and Joe's stinky socks, and in the morning he chows down on a sponge. He likes the smell of bubble bath, too, because it smells of strawberries. He eats when he's anxious because he's worried that the boy who owned him, Oliver, would be sad without him. When Joe gets into trouble with his dad, he tries to get rid of the amulet to no avail. Here comes the next make-you-hungry scene: Joe is sitting at the breakfast table with his siblings Sarah and Toby, waiting for toast and marmalade or the full Monty: bacon, eggs and tomatoes. When Dumpling was eating the toast, I could imagine him eating marmalade on white bread or sausage rolls. Throughout the night before Joe goes to school, Dumpling eats dice, board game pieces and even bits of a banana and apple. When he goes to school, Joe tries to find Dumpling, finding evidence in the form of missing jam fingers and the principal's eaten packed lunch. Joe gets the blame, and at lunch he pretends to take evidence from Oliver about Dumpling. When he is researching facts about Dumpling, it reminds me of your Terrifying Trivia book, where I like to imagine lots of stuff going on such as rituals, adventures and lots of quests, ala American educational films starring cutesy characters. However, Joe's mum has a severe allergy, and while Joe is helping to clean up, Dumpling has eaten fish fingers, peas and chocolate ice cream! However, in another scene Joe's dad comes home with fish and chips, and Dumpling eats his way through the whole lot, getting Joe into trouble again. At night, Joe sees Dumpling has eaten everything in the kitchen and made a mess - Joe and his mother clean up, but Dumpling sees a vacuum that destroyed his life! WHAT.
WILL.
HAPPEN?!
Resus, you're probably wanting to add a DOM-DOM-DOOOOM here, but there's a joke about that in the Scream Street Joke Book. Why don't we go out for fish and chips tomorrow? It'll be such an experience, just like going out for a warm meal of bacon rolls and hot chocolate. We won't have salt on ours, because it's sour to me, but we can just have fish, chips, no lemon and some tomato ketchup! Tummy rumbling? You bet it is! See you tomorrow!
Love,
Sophie
