Godfrey Was Hungry is a 2013 children’s book by Sean Danker-Smith. Here, the titular shark sets out to fulfill its titular craving.
Godfrey Was Hungry follows
a pretty standard children’s book formula, but Danker-Smith imbues it with a
distinctive cleverness in both the writing and the art (the page
with the squid being a prime example) that both children and many parents
should enjoy. The art is done in a loose magic marker style, and Danker-Smith does
a fine job of providing his undersea illustrations with depth.
In all, Godfrey Was
Hungry is an impressive first try at a children’s book; my three-year-old
loves it.
