Will I love The Incredible Book Eating Boy?

The pages are filled with things to discover,  it's one of those books that you will read and start over to find things hidden amongst the pages. The quirky lines makes the main character really nice for kids, resembling how they draw their own characters. And the story gives a really nice message about how fulfilling reading can be.

This time Oliver Jeffers shows that he is not only a fantastic illustrator (see above) but a storyteller in his own right. Once again the pictures say so much more than the words alone could convey as the boy who eats books learns that reading them is so much better. However, the bite taken out of the last page cleverly shows that sometimes he slips up. And parents are not to worry, because there is a disclaimer on the back cover warning to kids to “please do not try to eat this book at home”!
