Children’s book before 1985, character ate and ate, and ate and ate, getting fatter and fatter…character may have been named Ziggy or Iggy. Originally purchased the book in a Stars and Stripes bookstore sometime in 1984 I believe. Book may have been illustrated as well. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe The Fat Cat by Jack Kent? Or The Hungry Thing by Slepian?
could it be “Popcorn”
which i think was a weekly reader book club selection?
mom&dad bear go to costume party, son bear has his own, to which all guests bring popcorn. it fills the house and they “ate and ate and ate…”
If it could have been a cat, try “The Wuggie Norple Story” by Daniel Pinkwater.
If he was purple you might be thinking about The Hungry Thing by Ann Seidler, Jan Slepian.
Hungry Mongry by Shel Silverstein?
