28th May Hamburger Day

The hamburger owes its name to the city of Hamburg in Germany, but the hamburger is known and loved today worldwide.It is usually some variation of  a meat patty wedged inside a bun with salad and if you live in Australia the salad will probably include beetroot!

You shouldn't really eat a hamburger and read at the same time because a good hamburger drips and makes your hands messy, but some time on this day why not read a book that features this wonderfully transportable food.

Start with 


Burger Boy by Alan Durant and Mei Matsuoka




Then find one of these three novels


The Perfect Hamburger  by Alexander McCall Smith

Hedgehogs Don't Eat Hamburgers by Vivian French

• Stick Dog by Tom Watson




And if you want an information book



 What Happens to a Hamburger?  by Paul Showers and Edward Miller

 Hamburgers  by Joanne Mattern




Hope you're  now feeling hungry.

  1. I have fond memories of reading The Perfect Hamburger many years ago. I wonder if it has stood the test of time? Who knew there were non fiction books about Hamburgers - amazing.
