The book: The Incredible Book Eating Boy By Oliver Jeffers; Henry loves books–eating them, that is. The more books he eats, the smarter he becomes (wouldn’t that be great!), prompting him to devour them at an alarming rate.

Henry imagines that if he keeps eating at his current pace, he could eventually become the smartest person on earth. Unfortunately, he starts to get sick from eating so many books, and everything he has learned becomes all jumbled up.

In the end Henry gives up eating books and finds that it can also be satisfying to read them. The text is straightforward and minimal, but Jeffers’ illustrations (“created with paint, pencil and Letraset on pages from old books that librarians were getting rid of, the artist found, or people were throwing out”) cleverly convey why Henry might find books so enticing. Children will love sinking their teeth into these detail-rich, delectable pictures.
