#MelAndNikkiReview
How to Eat a Book became a family favorite as soon as the book arrived! A captivating story that takes readers on a journey into the depth of imagination. The concept of having a book eat you is an amazing play of words!
We have all been there where a book has had us feel immersed into the story. That messaging is simply beautiful as it is a great way to have children excited for reading. There is power in knowledge and the Grunions tap into their own personalities with the stories they get eaten by. Love it!
For this #MelAndNikkiReview, we give this book 5 stars out of 5! We love the storyline and introduction of each of the Grunions. Each has their own unique personality and we can’t wait to see more adventures from the three of them! We also loved the illustrations as it is prominently black and white with the splash of vibrant color with the book and then when the children are immersed in them. It really gives the reader the feeling of being in the story.
We highly recommend to read this book but of course don’t eat it! 😉 If you would like to purchase a copy of this wonderful book, click here.
