The Book That Eats People

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Fearing. To warn readers, a disembodied narrator recounts the fatalities caused by this book's insatiable appetite. Though the payoff may not justify the ghoulishness for readers, the story contains the odd clever touch (e.g., to seduce victims, the book dons different dust jackets). The digital and collage art features a red book with suitably sinister eyes.
