| I Will Chomp You! by Jory John; illustrated by Bob SheaBe careful: the snaggled-toothed monster in this exuberant book seems awfully serious about chomping anyone who reads it! Sure, his bites aren’t exactly precise, but he's bound to get more frantic as you turn the pages and get closer to his delicious, sugary secret. If you like: dangerously silly metafiction like Adam Lehrhaupt's Warning or John Perry's The Book That Eats People, it might be safe for you to try I Will Chomp You!...but don't say we didn't warn you! |
