“The Hangry Toy Box” is a fictional short story about a dad-snoring-tummy-growling noise that the main character, Jake, cannot figure out what is making it or where it is coming from. On top of having to deal with that, he has to deal with his cousin, Tommy, who he does not get along with. Tommy is quite the bully to Jake. However, when they put their differences aside and come together, they are able to figure out that the noise is coming from Jake’s toy box. The toy box does not like it when kids take toys out and do not put them back before getting more toys out. It gets angry when its belly is not full, hence the name, “The Hangry Toy Box.” It is a funny story that readers will enjoy reading and they will be able to relate to parts of the story as well. Grades 1-4/ages 7-10.
