Reviews

Creative story with wonderful message regarding the power of reading

"I bought this book for a little friend who is going through a book-eating stage. My kids loved it when they were little."

— T. S. (5/5)

A book about books, loved by book lovers!

"My kids loved this book from the first read! We love Oliver Jeffers"

— Chesa (5/5)

Another Oliver Jeffers Favorite

"Oliver Jeffers is one of my favorite authors. This story is a humorous take on the love of reading. Children love the story."

— Nancy (5/5)

Hilarious with a great message!

"Who doesn't love to devour a good book? Oliver Jeffers brings his unique illustration style to this hilarious tale about a boy who learns the consequences of eating too many books. Kids (and adults too!) will laugh out loud at the zany tale of Henry, who dreams of becoming the smartest boy in the world by eating all sorts of books. Underneath the amusing tale of The Incredible Book Eating Boy lies a meaningful moral about the power of books that teachers and parents will appreciate."

— RoRo (5/5)

Good fun

"Smart, funny, imaginative something kids enjoy."

— MamaReader (5/5)
