The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers
Sunday, July 01, 2007




Remember the times when you had to cram last minute for school exams and how you wish you could eat the book pages and somehow remember all the facts instead? This book is somewhat like that.

It’s about a boy who one day tasted a page of a book and found it yummy. And from a page, it became a book and then books. Of course, he became smarter along the way, absorbing information like a sponge. Then again, there’s no shortcut in the learning process as the boy soon found out.

This is a great book for kids as it teaches the fact that reading is good and a great way to learn about things instead of erm eating the book. The illustrations also by the author are slightly wacky with texts imprinted on the background. Yup I love it but darn, it is way too pricey for a book that I could finish reading in less than 3 minutes. So I read it at the bookstore instead.
