"Hello, I am a book. It is important to remember that I am not food. There are lots of wondrous things in books, but none of them taste good. That's because books are for reading, not eating!" I Am a Book, Not Food! is a funny, easy book for young readers who might still think the best place for a book is in their mouth. You know the ones I'm talking about. Even when they're actively being read to, some kids just can't resist the allure of trying to stick an entire book in their mouth. And that's okay-because this book is here to remind them that books are meant to be read. Not eaten.
