Chicken wings, sausages, salami and RIBS are a few of my favorite things, which is a major offense for a vegetarian. Three years ago, I had it in my head that it would be a brilliant idea for a vegetarian to attend rib feast, which is exactly like it sounds like – all-you-can-eat ribs from [...]

The Incredible Book-Eating Boy
Author/ Illustrator: Oliver Jeffers
Publisher: Philomel, April 2007
Reading Level: Ages 4-8
"Henry loves books, but not like you and I, not quite. Henry loves to EAT books. And here is the best bit: the more he eats, the smarter he gets.
Big books, picture books, reference books- you name it, Henry eats them up. And the more he eats, the smarter he gets. (You knew that was coming, right?) Even though the story is predictable for adults, kids will literally eat this book up. But I have to admit, I still found myself wanting to read on. One day poor Henry feels sick to his stomach. By the way, the illustration of Henry with his head in the toilet will certainly bring a giggle or two. Eventually, all the information Henry's digested gets so jumbled, he needs to find a new way to enjoy books. The clever illustrations make this book truly unique. Using old book covers, and pages from books, Jeffers' collage-style will have you oohing and ahhhing! The best part? When you get to the end of the book, we find that Henry hasn't changed his ways and has taken a bite out of the lower rear corner of the final pages- Funny!
