Not my very favorite Jeffers book, but still a fun one. Kids will find it funny, and you‘ve got to love a book that encourages a love of reading. And discourages eating books. 😂

#PrinceOfJuly Day 23: This boy, Henry, is #Insatiable for books! Before long, though, he got so high from eating all these books that he began eating three or four at a time – he wasn‘t really fussy, anything would do, as he “wanted to know it all.” And what happens, dear friends, when you overeat? You get sick, of course! Full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4rx

The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers. Genre: F, Award: Boston Merit Award, TS: RA,S, AS, IR, GR, PR. This book is about a book eating boy that becomes smarter with the more books he eats. But he realizes he likes something way more... This would be a great read aloud and also encourages reading because, like one of our articles stated, the character in the book enjoys books. #UCFLAE3414SP18

Jeffersleighann EL 6. Continually monitor student‘s comprehension. UDL 9.1: Promote expectations and beliefs that optimize motivation. I think this book would encourage students to want to read so I felt it aligned well with this guideline. 6y
