The Incredible Book Eating Boy
A cautionary tale about the perils of unbridled bibliophagy! Henry loves books! but not like you and I. He loves to EAT them!!
Once young Henry discovers that the more books he eats the smarter he becomes, he starts eating as many as he can find - not only racking up huge library fines, but ending up with both stomach and brains full of undigested content. Oh No! Ultimately, Henry learns that it's much more enjoyable to read books than to eat them.
Painting and assembling scraps into collages on a wide range of papers, from the insides of tattered dust jackets to old official forms and yellowed graph paper, Jeffers crafts exuberant illustrations of huge appeal to children and adults.
This picture book is recommended by the publisher for 6-8 year olds, but adults should unashamedly enjoy it too.
