讓孩子大開眼界,掌握閱讀樂趣,從此愛上書本!
亨利喜歡書。不過,他喜歡的方式跟你我不一樣,真的不大一樣。亨利喜歡「吃」各種書,故事書、字典、笑話大全……甚至是數學書。最棒的是,當他吃得越多,他就越聰明。他想,如果繼續這樣下去,說不定他會成為地球上最聰明的人。於是他不斷吃書,不斷變得更聰明。
直到有一天,他的胃突然不太舒服,學到的東西也開始亂成一團。亨利難過的坐著,過了很長一段時間。他該怎麼辦呢?

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.
