338K: Baby Dinosaur Can’t Pronounce His Favorite Snacks

I’d love your help trying to find a favorite book of mine from my childhood. I was born in 1989 and I feel like this book was published sometime in the early 90s, but I am not 100% sure.
Here’s what I remember: a younger dinosaur wants a snack, but his caregiver (I think his mother) can’t understand what he’s saying when he tells her what he’d like to eat. I specifically remember two of the snacks he requests are jelly beans and donuts. Instead of “jelly beans” or “donuts” however, he says something like “Belly jeans” or “blownuts.”

    Look at The Hungry Thing Returns by Ann Seidler and Jan Slepian and see if it’s what you remember. 🙂 The original The Hungry Thing book was one of my favorites, and I collected the sequels as an adult.
