From chaotic breakfasts to birthday parties, Fearne Cotton's adorable Hungry Babies love to have fun at mealtimes. 'One for both adults and children, Hungry Babies will teach kids to try new things while showing parents what to do when meal times turn messy’ OK!

Fearne has been presenting live TV since the age of 15 when she was spotted by ITV’s ‘Disney Club’.
Her warmth, natural interview skills and ability to make presenting live TV seem effortless and has given her the opportunity to present a variety of shows over the years.
Fearne is currently back in her role as team captain on the 16th series of Celebrity Juice, a show that continues to be a ratings winner for ITV2. Other shows include Children in Need Rocks, The Happiness Project, Fearne & Gok: Off The Rails, The BBC Music Awards, Top of the Pops with Reggie Yates, ‘Fearne and McBusted’ and a Coldplay special for Sky Arts amongst many others.
In addition to TV Fearne is hugely credible in the music genre. In 2005 she joined Radio 1 where she spent 10 incredible years, initially co-hosting morning shows with Reggie Yates and then moving onto the UK Top 40 show before taking over the prestigious weekday morning slot in 2009; here she mixed big celebrity interviews with exclusive acoustic performances in the Live Lounge. The show attracted over 4 million listeners and in 2012 she won a Sony Gold Award for the show.
Alongside TV & Radio Fearne is incredibly creative and has designed several seasons of a home wear range for very.co.uk, curated 13 seasons of her own very.co.uk clothing range and previously released her own make-up and toiletry ranges for Boots. Fearne currently enjoys working alongside Cath Kidston and Garnier Olia and is also a brand ambassador for BaByliss, where she creates a series of ‘Get the Look’ videos and tutorials, recreating her go-to styles using BaByliss tools.
In social media, Fearne has over 7 million Twitter followers and a combined Facebook and Instagram following of over 2.2 million with live, innovative content around her programming and off-air projects, ranking her amongst the world’s top 250 most influential Tweeters.
An enthusiastic cook, Fearne released her first cookbook in June 2016: Cook Happy, Cook Health. Her next book, Happy, talks about her own experiences of happiness (including some of the not-so-happy ones), and was published February 2017. Fearne's third book, Cook. Eat. Love, was published in June 2017.
Work aside, Fearne is a mother of 2 and continues to find time to support a range of charities with seemingly no challenge too big for her, whether it be climbing Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief, or trekking the Inca Trail for Breast Cancer Care. Fearne is an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust and also a patron for Post Pals, Tyler’s Trust and Coppafeel!, the latter of which she curates the charity’s music festival, FESTIFEEL.
I read this book in Dutch (Smulkids which is just a brilliant translation) but will write a short review in English. NOTE, if I use names they are for the Dutch translation.
We all know of kids who don't like to eat everything, kids who are picky, kids who are fussy about their food. Kids who don't like a colour of a food and then refuse to eat it. However not the kids from this adorable picture book!
We meet up with all the kids and see them also interact together as they are all from the same class and friends. Each kid (and often their family) get a chance to tell about their favourite food or show the world how much they just love eating and what kind of things they eat without making a fuss about it.
I was just delighted to see the kids eat everything they could stuff their little faces in. From bananas to pineapples to honey on toast to fries and chicken nuggets to gigantic (really it is) chocolate cakes to candy. But we don't just see the kids from the class but also read about their sisters and brothers and see how and what they eat, which often involved a big mess.
I love that Maya's birthday is shown throughout the book, with a small birthday party with her family, someone making a drawing for her, and then at the end the big party with all her classmates/friends!
The art is just the cutest and sweetest. It was so colourful and I love how everything was drawn.
I would recommend this one to everyone. I am sure kids will love it, and it may also help fussy eaters.
I enjoyed this! Hungry Babies is full of adorable little characters that are sometimes picky eaters, often messy eaters. From daily dinners at home and days out with family to birthday parties with friends, these little tots have fun with each other and fun with food.
One of the better books about food for kids, I really like the bit about the kids behavior in the restaurant - useful scenario to explain to my 3 year old. I think it's particularly helpful to see the scenes of different people's houses and rooms which seems to interest her quite a lot at this stage.
Very enjoyable and a sweet way to explore eating, mealtimes, types of food, treats and celebrations with children. The full page illustrations bring the book to life
Beautiful, colourful and captivating illustrations - my baby constantly asks for us to read him this book. He enjoys the rhymes and stares at all the wonderful details in the illustrations
