Henry, a young boy who loves books, has an unusual way of enjoying them: he eats them instead of reading. His favorite color of book to consume is red, and he believes that eating books is making him smarter. However, as he devours more and more books, he starts to feel ill and the jumbled information inside him becomes undigestable. Faced with this dilemma, Henry must discover a new way to appreciate books without using his teeth. Oliver Jeffers' picture book features a unique artistic style and a die-cut surprise, celebrating the joys of reading in a humorous and creative manner.
