Would You Eat A Book?

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Incredible Book Eating Boy,’ one day last week.

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.

It’s a beautifully illustrated book about a boy called Henry who eats books.

When Henry’s addiction to eating books eventually leads him to become ill, he has to give them up.

Then one day he picks up a half eaten book from the floor, and discovers that he actually likes to read.

Now instead of eating books, he reads them all the time.

This is a great book that I’d recommend reading with young children, it will encourage them to read and learn new things.

It brings back memories of when I was a child. I used to tear the corner edge from the newspaper and chew it; but I could never eat a whole one. Newspaper that is!

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
