The illustrations were every bit as appealing as the story, making use of textual collage elements in ways that reminded me of the artist's work for his subsequent A Child of Books. The unconventional idea of a 'book eating boy' could definitely appeal to children as it's such an absurd idea to them. El increible niño comelibros" es un libro estupendo para todas las edades, y por eso me encantó el autor, sus cuentos parecen ser para niños, pero tienen mensajes ocultos entre páginas y palabras que hacen que incluso a los adultos nos lleguen sus historias directo al corazón, y obviamente a los niños les saca más de un risa.

Following the advice of parents, doctors and librarians, he stopped scarfing down books, but subsequently found life a bit dull and flat. If the title sounds magical and optimistic to you, it's probably because that's exactly what this book is. But this glutenous book eating, which started with a sentence - page - chapter - then gulp - A WHOLE BOOK! Henry enjoyed it so much that he continued eating words until eventually, he was eating whole books!One day Henry decides to actually try reading one of his half-eaten books and a whole new world opens up before him. Oliver Jeffers sophisticated illustrations are witty and absorbing: the bite out of the corner of the book is a joke on its own! Fun fact: Seeing the little bite taken out of the back of the book led one of my coworkers to confess that as a child, she used to chew on her headboard at night. He has written and illustrated, or "made", as he prefers to put it, five hugely successful picture books. Then the children drew their illustrations directly onto the dried paper, some chose to use oils, acrylics, charcoal etc.

The story here is humorous and engaging, offering an oblique exploration of how we consume books and other media amidst all the hilarity. Here is our first project, focusing on the work of Oliver Jeffers in The Incredible Book Eating Boy masterpiece! Sumptuously produced, with quirky, collage style illustrations, this homage to books will find fans in children and adults alike. This exciting story follows the trials and tribulations of a boy with a voracious appetite for books.

A story about possibilities and disappointments with a triumphant ending, all of which Jeffers captures through the beautifully expressive changing moods of his little boy. Until the day, that is, that the knowledge he was ingesting began to become a little mixed, and he began to feel a little ill as a result of his unusual diet.
