Marvin Wanted MORE!

By Joseph Theobald

Marvin is not happy. Why are the other sheep bigger than him? And why are they faster than him? And WHY can they jump higher than him?

Something has to change, and Marvin knows exactly how to change it . . . by EATING! Because if he's bigger than the other sheep, then surely he will be better, too?
And after eating the grass and the flowers and the bushes, Marvin wants more. And after eating the trees and the clouds and the sky, Marvin still wants more! But what happens when there's nothing more left for Marvin to eat?

A brilliantly funny picture book about a brilliantly greedy sheep!

Reviews for Marvin Wanted MORE!

[C · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is the story of a sheep named Marvin, who feels small and less athletic than his peers. So he starts gobbling up anything that happens to be near him. He keeps eating and eating, then one day he devours the whole planet Earth!
He ends up vomiting it all, and the world is restored... Kind of. Yuck.
The end speaks to children: it's okay to be small. Love yourself just the way you are.

Funny but a little twisted. Kids will either love or find it a little disturbing.
