After a heavy drinking night out one man is facing the hangover from hell that he just can’t shift. After being awoken on the sofa at 7 am, the man tries numerous things to make himself feel better from taking two paracetamol at 7 am, two cups of sweet tea and a phone call to say he’s sick at 8 am, three slices of toast, two fizzy vitamin pills, and a black coffee at 9 am. This is just the start of his day.

He continues eating and drinking to make himself feel better for the rest of the day, but what cures him of his hangover?

In case you hadn’t worked it out, I’m sure you have, this is a parody of the children’s book ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. It is amusing and I for one am glad that I’m not a heavy drinker as the man looks in serious pain throughout the day and I don’t know how he managed to eat and drink so much looking for a cure – yuk!!

The story is only short and is filled with fabulous illustrations alongside text that did make me giggle slightly. This is the kind of book you would give as a present and would certainly be a good idea for someone who is used to hangovers. Would also make the perfect Secret Santa Gift.
