Book Review 7- 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy'- Oliver Jeffers

[Jade]

Children will love this humerous picture book. Henry is a boy, who like some children does not like reading, but does love eating them. Henry could eat multiple books in one go and that the more he ate, the smarter he got! Unfortunately, as time passed he began to get quite sick due to the amount of books he was consuming. Everything Henry had learnt was starting to get muddled up and he didn't feel very smart anymore. So Henry gave up eating books and instead started to read them, and 'it was so good' and now he reads all the time and how it can make him even smarter. This picture book is great for getting children into reading for pleasure and showing them how fun it can be and how important it is because it allows you to learn about a whole range of things. It would be suitable for children for lower key stage 2. Children will love the quirky illustrations (especially finding the big bite mark at the back of the book!)

5/5
