by Mrs &. Mr MacLeod (Author)

This irresistible book about books--and the way they make us feel--is set in a world bursting with charm and character. How to Eat a Book is destined to be a favorite read-aloud book for kids, families, librarians, booksellers, and educators.
Sheila sat down to eat her first book and the strangest thing happened . . . The book ate HER. One by one, cousins Sheila, Gerald, and Geraldine Grunion are eaten . . . by their books. This peculiar turn of events flings them far and wide. Sheila escapes the weight of the world entirely, while Gerald braves the wonder of seeing it up close. And Geraldine, well, Geraldine turns as terrifically terrible as she possibly can. Join the Grunions on adventures no child can resist! How to Eat a Book is a quirky, modern celebration of books--with hints of Shel Silverstein and a smattering of Edward Gorey. Fantastically illustrated with dipped pen-and-ink cutout art, photographed in a three-dimensional stage diorama, and hand colored, this debut children's picture book is a breakout hit from the talented Mrs. & Mr. MacLeod. The Grunion cousins have more stories to tell and adventures to take, each sure to be as surprising as the next. Hardcover picture books; 48 pages; 8.5 x 10.9 in.Author Biography
