A real bargain this book, it cost me 5p for a brand new hardback at our school fair. Henry one day discovers that he likes to eat books. He gobbles them up and discovers the more he eats the smarter he becomes, even smarter than his teacher (what kid wouldn't that appeal to?). But then he gets sick and has to stop eating books, but how to keep up with the learning? What else could you do with books? Collages and changing fonts make this book a very interesting read indeed, and how could we resist a book about books with a great message about the power and beauty of books? And if that wasn't enough there's a big surprise for children to wonder at at the end of the book. I believe this was selected by Richard and Judy, well, so says the ugly sticker on my otherwise pristine hardback bargain.
