*本书获得2023年Barnes & Nobel Children’s and YA Book Awards: Barnes & Noble Announces Annual Children’s & Young Adult Book Awards Winners - Barnes & Noble Inc (barnesandnobleinc.com). “Mrs. and Mr. MacLeod didn’t create the typical picture book,” said Scott Berkowitz, Manager of Children’s Books, Barnes & Noble. “How to Eat a Book is a fantastical portal to a world filled with whimsy and adventure. The Grunion cousins fell right out of a Shel Silverstein poem, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to our ever-expanding book club of favorite story-time friends. We can’t wait to see what’s next for the Grunions.”

*童书界的近期最可期待、被看好的夫妻作家搭档，结合了Shel Silverstein, Maurice Sendak 以及Arnold Lobel的风格，写出了一本好玩、古怪、有思考价值及独特性格的书！出版社已经跟作者签约继续写下Grunion家庭的其他故事！

*这本书描述了我们被一本好书完全吸引、放不下来，像是被书吃掉的感觉

书中的主人公Sheila跟她的两个表兄妹Gerald以及Geraldine总是被书吃掉。真的！他们会被书吃掉！总是严肃的Sheila总会发现自己在未知的世界里、害羞的Gerald总是能认识新朋友、大胆的Geraldine可以踏上各种历险。他们这是在做什么？其实，他们只是看书看得太入迷，被书“吃掉“！

本书的插图非常独特并有吸引力，结合了剪纸以及简单钢笔绘画，再加上3D的视觉效果以及数位上色，绝对独一无二！

Mrs. MacLeod received her MFA from the Savannah College of Art & Design and spent her early career as an art director in San Francisco.

Those scars have turned into stories.
