Enrique loves to eat books, until he begins to feel quite ill and decides that maybe he could do something else with the books he has been devouring.
Synopsis
Henry loves books. In fact, he literally devours them. And the more he eats, the smarter he gets. When he starts eating too many too fast, he can no longer digest them, and their contents get all mixed up. When forced to give up eating his favorite volumes, Henry eventually learns to enjoy reading them. The simple cartoon illustrations twinkle with humor and feeling. Done in paint and pencil on smart backdrops--pages from old books--the pictures set the stage for the quirky story.
