Like many children, Henry loves books. But Henry doesn't like to read books, he likes to eat them. Big books, picture books, reference books . . . if it has pages, Henry chews them up and swallows (but red ones are his favorite). And the more he eats, the smarter he gets he's on his way to being the smartest boy in the world! But one day he feels sick to his stomach. And the information is so jumbled up inside, he can't digest it! Can Henry find a way to enjoy books without using his teeth? With a stunning new artistic style and a die-cut surprise, Oliver Jeffers celebrates the joys of reading in this charming and quirky picture book. It's almost good enough to eat.

in the future this book will make sense to no one. it will have to be re-named the incredible kindle-eating boy. i wrote this review only to prove that even when i take a break from paper-writing to read a childrens book, i am still on-topic mentally. so give me an a please...

Of course I鈥檝e heard of this author, so I grabbed it straight away from work. Brand new!
A funny little boy gets greedy. Greedy for books. To eat! This is all well and good, he could even become the smartest boy in the world! But this glutenous book eating, which started with a sentence - page - chapter - then gulp - A WHOLE BOOK! - made him quick green with sickness.
Then it turns out it may be slower, but he could still be the smartest boy in the world. Now he loves to read, isn鈥檛 sick, and is learning a lot! In fact.. broccoli eating becomes popular. Who鈥檚 have thought?!
Such a cute concept teamed with witty, original and very clever illustrations. Witty and clever author. What a pleasure. Recommended for all book lovers young and old. Please, just no biting the book!
Indy (master 5) loved it. He was wriggling round with (silly) excitement and bum wiggling. This is a good thing around here. Like a happy dance you could say.
Great Christmas gift, or any occasion for that matter. Enjoyable and smart!

I loved this book, I loved the funny storyline and I really LOVED the illustrations! I think Oliver Jeffers is fast becoming one of my favourite writers for children storybooks.
This story is about Henry who really, really, really enjoys ALL sorts of books...But...he enjoys the books a little different from you and I. In fact he EATS any sort of book he can find, especially the red ones! This allows his brain to do the most interesting thing, it internalises all the info out of each book until...
...one too many books were consumed.
I learnt a new word from this book..'boke'...Now I haven't even googled to see if this word is real or really just made up. The child I was reading this too got such a huge giggle from the word 'boke' we had to read that specific page many times!
Now, if you want to find out what happens to Henry after eating too many books you'll need to pick this up yourself..I do suggest that you DON'T eat the book though...You really don't want to end up like poor Henry. I know, I know, the book already has a nibble out of the back of it but really, I do strongly suggest you ignore the temptation to nibble on it yourself.

I believe the last picture book I reviewed was by Oliver Jeffers and here I am with his earlier gem. I love the illustrations and the use of book pages in the backgrounds. I love the bite taken out of the back cover and the disclaimer advising against eating the book. I love that the boy becomes the incredible broccoli eating boy in the end. But mostly I just love a book for children that celebrates reading. This book does that in a clever, catchy way. 4.5 stars

Oh, I just loved this, and its outlandish humor will, I think, appeal to most kids. I can see reading it with kids in all sorts of settings, and independent readers should enjoy perhaps it even more.
The humor is wonderful, all the way through, including the 鈥渆aten out鈥� page corners of the last few pages and the back book cover. I also love it when children鈥檚 book authors use a childhood photo of themselves in the author bio section, and that鈥檚 the case for this book.
The illustrations were wonderful. Lot of text included, interesting juxtaposition of content. Each page of collage was filled with so much to view.
I suppose this isn鈥檛 a totally original idea. I鈥檝e seen this premise played out before in other picture books, but the story here is so endearing. I like that Henry wants to be smart, and that Henry likes books, and that he figures out another way to use them.
Note to adults: On the back cover there is a disclaimer to not to try to eat this book at home. Fun touch.

Henry loved books. Specifically, he loved to eat them. The more he ate the tasty tomes, the smarter he got. 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. Following the advice of parents, doctors and librarians, he stopped scarfing down books, but subsequently found life a bit dull and flat. What could he do...?
READ!!! (of course!) Although I saw the ending of The Incredible Book Eating Boy coming from a ways off, and fully expected to find in its pages a paean to the beauty and joy of reading, I still found the process of getting to the conclusion quite enjoyable. The story here is humorous and engaging, offering an oblique exploration of how we consume books and other media amidst all the hilarity. There's something to be said for taking our time when we read, rather than rushing to read everything we can, without pausing to truly mull it over. I appreciated that Jeffers managed to work that message into his book, without resorting to any overt didactic display. 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 . Recommended to fellow Jeffers fans, and to anyone looking for children's stories that address how we approach books and knowledge.

Henry eats a book, and absorbs the knowledge contained within the pages.
But, too much of even a good thing can sometimes lead to trouble, as Henry discovers. This is a fun story with imaginative artwork by the author. 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.
Hmm . . . I'm assuming she was impervious to splinters.

Henry, everything must be done in moderation!
What a cute book! It was an accident really, the way this all started. Henry wasn't paying attention when he took his first bite, it was one single word out of a book. Henry enjoyed it so much that he continued eating words until eventually, he was eating whole books! Henry got so good at eating books that instead of taking the books apart, Henry was swallowing the books whole! This part made me smile as I thought Henry must be related to the, "I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a ...." as Henry was beginning to swallow some pretty big books!
This new talent that Henry had discovered was also beneficial for him too. He discovered a reward for all this eating and this is where he should have had some self-control! Henry should have enjoyed his new life and it's perks but nope, Henry had to shoot for the stars.
Another great story by Oliver Jeffers!

The three-year-old ADORED this book, then went and took a bite out of another library book. Sigh.

Muy divertida y con una ense帽anza sutil como suele hacerlo el autor

Conoc铆 a Oliver Jeffers en un taller de cuenta cuentos que realic茅 hace poco y fue amor a primera vista 馃槏.
El profesor del taller nos cont贸 "El coraz贸n y la botella" del mismo autor y quede prendada jajaja 鉂わ笍... as铆 que como es l贸gico suponer tuve que adquirir obligadamente algunos libros del autor y este qued贸 entre los elegidos.
"El increible ni帽o comelibros" es un libro estupendo para todas las edades, y por eso me encant贸 el autor, sus cuentos parecen ser para ni帽os, pero tienen mensajes ocultos entre p谩ginas y palabras que hacen que incluso a los adultos nos lleguen sus historias directo al coraz贸n, y obviamente a los ni帽os les saca m谩s de un risa.
Algo que me gusta mucho, es como las im谩genes y las palabras se apoyan mutuamente sin caer en la redundancia, es decir, muchas veces las palabras te dicen algo y las im谩genes en lugar de solamente reafirmarlo, te dan m谩s informaci贸n. Lo que pienso es muy bueno cuando se le est谩 leyendo a un ni帽o, ya que es tan importante que ponga atenci贸n a lo que escucha como a lo que ve.
Oliver Jeffers eres un genio 鉂わ笍

I like the drawings and the layout of this book but the story lacks depth and ends oddly.

This is a really good book to engage children with a love for reading.
It is about a boy who loves to eat books. Everytime he eats a book he gets smarter and smarter. However, not after long this boy starts getting all the information in his head confused. Henry learns that you can get information from reading books and also love the process.

Merveilleuse petite trouvaille dans la biblioth猫que de mon 茅cole aujourd'hui. Des illustrations magnifiques. Un style unique pour raconter une histoire. De l'humour tr猫s efficace, mais aussi une belle r茅flexion qui entrainer une discussion avec les petits, et qui m锚me en tant qu'adulte, m'a fait r茅fl茅chir. Dr么le d'hasard d'锚tre tomb茅 l脿-dessus aujourd'hui! Excellent!

How clever and funny an idea! Love the illustrations and implications. All kids (and adults) should read this.

The Incredible Book Eating Boy is a witty picturebook that slyly celebrates deep reading instead of merely devouring information.
The story is silly and lighthearted, but a little bit deep, too, if you want it to be :)
And I loved Oliver Jeffers' whimsical and creative mixed-media illustrations:

Read this book in Dutch, but will be writing my review in English.
Of course I had to read this book when I spotted it at the library. For more than 1 reason. First up it is Oliver Jeffers, and I just adore his books. Second I am a bookworm, and so I love stories about fellow bookworms, especially if they are a special kind of bookworm.
Because that is what our boy in this story is, a special kind of bookworm. You know how people often tell people who read a lot that they eat books, well this kid takes that literally and eats books. Not only his own books, but also library books, books he finds, well anything. And he also doesn't shy away from any topic. I loved that part. That he wasn't afraid to expand his tastes in books.
But of course, I could see what was going to happen coming. From far away. As soon as his hunger for books turned into a knowledge battle, I just knew this would end up badly. Of course I won't tell you if it truly did turn badly, and what happened to the boy. But let me just tell you that I loved the ending and that it made me truly happy.
I also have to give bonus points to how the book was made, at the back (and in 2/3 pages) there is a bite mark, as if someone had nibbled a bit on the book, which fits perfectly with not only the book, but also with the ending.
The illustrations are just fabulous, I love the backgrounds and what kind of materials form the backgrounds at times. Definitely fits perfectly with the book. Then again, this is not the first time that Oliver Jeffers made a book that is not only a feast for the brain, but also for the eyes.
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. The only reason I didn't rate this book 5 stars was because of the whole knowledge and I am going to be the smartest person ever part.

I confess, I have an artistic crush on Oliver Jeffers! I'm falling in love with his work. Who does Oliver Jeffers write and illustrate for? My almost-4-year-old loves him, but so do I. At this point, I'm not sure which one of us I keep ordering his books for. I want to keep them in my office/library, but I've been reluctantly keeping them in my son's room so they're handy for bedtime.
This book is enchanting, humorous, and gorgeously illustrated. There is even a "bite" taken out of the last pages & back cover, which my son really got a kick out of. There is also a disclaimer to not eat the book.
I loved the message鈥攕ometimes I too am guilty of "devouring" books at such a gluttonous rate that I don't have time to properly digest them or savor them. Like the incredible book eating boy, I have a desire to consume and know everything. It's enough to make you "boke", ha ha... (That's an inside joke for people who read this.) The boy learns the importance of slowing down and really taking things in.
I think this is a classic, whether people know it yet or not. I'd put it up there with Where The Wild Things Are.

OMG Loved This Book!
I read a review by a friend and said I got to read that. Got a library copy and read it to myself. Read it to my four-year old grandson, who though he can't read yet, loved it. My eight-year old grandson laughed out loud at it.
A story about a boy who eats books. (Both boys loved the part where the boy 'throws up' in a real toilet cuz he gets sick eating books.) It's just so zany - there's a word I seldom used - and 'cuckoo for cocoa puffs' silly that I'm going to buy a copy to put on the bookshelf I keep at my house for my grandsons.
No less than five stars. :D

What a funny story! I could see it being a great book to frame early independent reading conversations at the beginning of the school year.

Esta semana he le铆do m谩s libros infantiles que nunca y no pens茅 que alguno de ellos me har铆a escribir una rese帽a pero OH SORPRESA. Debo reconocer que he le铆do este libro entre 5-7 veces esta semana (Es un libro infantil, es cort铆simo) pero es taaaan pero tan incre铆ble.
Un d铆a un ni帽o de curioso se comi贸 una palabra, le qued贸 gustando y se comi贸 una oraci贸n, una hoja, un libro entero. Aparte de que le gustaban, se di贸 cuenta que si com铆a libros podr铆a ser el ni帽o m谩s inteligente del mundo.
Ya sab铆a hasta m谩s que sus profesores y sobre cualquier tema ten铆a la respuesta.
Eventualmente, el ni帽o comi贸 tantos libros en su af谩n por ser el m谩s inteligente que comenz贸 a sentirse mal, pues com铆a tanto que no pod铆a hacer la digesti贸n. 5x2 ya no era igual a 10, era igual a elefante. Fue al m茅dico y le aconsej贸 que dejase los libros, es m谩s, se los prohibi贸, a partir de ah铆 el ni帽o descubre que en vez de devorarlos literalmente, los puede leer con calma, tambi茅n puede aprender y ser inteligente鈥� aunque le tome m谩s tiempo.
Este mensaje, contado de manera tan l煤dica y visual, me hizo pensar en el fen贸meno que se est谩 dando en Bookstagram, donde a veces parece que hay una carrera invisible por ver qui茅n lee m谩s, m谩s r谩pido, qui茅n tiene m谩s libros en su TBR o sube m谩s rese帽as por semana. Como si acumular t铆tulos fuese sin贸nimo de sabidur铆a o val铆a como lector. Y no. Tal como le pasa a al ni帽o, podemos terminar saturados, sin digerir lo que leemos, sin tiempo para reflexionar o sentir los libros como se debe. La lectura, como cualquier otro alimento, necesita pausas, masticaci贸n, digesti贸n.
El incre铆ble ni帽o come libros es una joya que nos recuerda que el conocimiento no es una carrera de velocidad, y que el amor por los libros no deber铆a transformarse en una competencia. A veces, leer menos, pero con m谩s profundidad, nos enriquece mucho m谩s.

I thoroughly loved how in Henry's lowest overall point of the book where he stops eating them, he discovers a love for reading! The unconventional idea of a 'book eating boy' could definitely appeal to children as it's such an absurd idea to them. I've read it to my cousins before and they absolutely love it! The illustrations throughout are FANTASTIC and anyone can admire them. The added touch on the back of the corner chewed off is just a little extra but children LOVE noticing it!
