Books can be really interesting. After watching a movie about writing or drama or other topics and themes, I realized what I wanted to do is write a story about it, well, similar to it.
Reading also leads you to knowledge. My mom used to say that it's better to fail honestly rather than succeeding with a truly high score with a terrible way called cheating. Eventually, after reading books you'll get honest knowledge and wisdom. Books can be humorous, they can be dramatic, they can be fantasy, they can be slices of life, and many more. Don't you just love books? Books open up the world for people. There are many kinds of books like Language books, Storybooks, fiction, non-fiction, books about geometry, chronometry or poetry, ancestry or chemistry or dentistry or puppetry or trick books. You can learn so much about books, and books can be full of fantastical chases with stories that can take you to faraway places. Don't you just love their rapturous, boisterous, dangerous, paper-ous smell! Books are wonderful, magnificent! I think I took that one too far. Well, you're understanding what I'm saying, if I'm right? Books can be a blast for you! Trust me, it totally works ;).
But well... There is this one book that made me interested between all of my school studies. The Incredible Book-Eating Boy, that is. From Henry loves books--eating them, that is. The more books he eats, the smarter he becomes, prompting him to devour them at an alarming rate. Henry imagines that if he keeps eating at his current pace, he could eventually become the smartest person on earth. Unfortunately, he starts to get sick from eating so many books, and everything he has learned becomes all jumbled up. Eventually Henry gives up eating books and finds that it can also be satisfying to read them. The text is straightforward and minimal, but Jeffers' illustrations ("created with paint, pencil and Letraset on pages from old books that librarians were getting rid of, the artist found, or people were throwing out") cleverly convey why Henry might find books so enticing. The cover is a pleasing shade of chocolate, and many of the pages look good enough to eat, with print, lines, and texture from the recycled book pages cropping up in unlikely places (see the front cover of this issue). Children will enjoy sinking their teeth into these detail-rich, delectable pictures.
