The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers


This book tells the story of a boy who starts eating books and absorbs all the information of each book he ingests. Finally, he eats so many that he begins to confuse the information he stores and starts to abandon his habit. The story is cute but I really love the illustrations. This book had to grow on Ricky because the illustrations were not the usual bold-red-blue-yellow-green big and happy ones. The illustrations are very high design. My husband, who is a graphic designer, really liked the illustrations as well. I especially love the bite mark at the corner of the book! Well done.
