Overview
A cheeky metafictional adventure about a young boy’s efforts to save his grandmother’s precious copy of The Wind in the Willows from a group of hungry insects
Lipo, an oddball booklouse, and their pesky insect friends love nothing more than diving into a good book—not to read it, but to eat it!
When a young boy named Gus discovers them making breakfast out of his grandmother’s precious copy of The Wind in the Willows, he takes it upon himself to make the critters disappear and save her beloved novel from meeting the same fate as the other books on his shelf.
Lipo’s Bookish Appetite is a book about books that features text and images from the classic novel The Wind in the Willows. It is both a tiny adventure, complete with pages bearing real bite marks, and an introduction to the book as a physical object, featuring technical terms that help children learn about its different parts.
