A really fun story with adorable illustrations to get lost in! Nibbles likes to nibble on things, and books are especially tasty to him. He nibbles his way out of his own book, then in and out of quite a few others, while the child who owns the books tries to find him before Nibbles eats the kid's whole collection of books! The illustrations are filled with lots of fun details, including some spreads where the reader has to find where Nibbles is hiding. Such a cute book, I want a copy for me!

It was okay, I thought more could have been done with it. Wasn't as cute as I was hoping for. More interaction with Nibbles and the fairy tale characters might have made it more interesting.

The story of Nibbles is a well written one, and trying to catch him is lots of fun! Children will enjoy the interactive journey that this book takes them on, and will discover several classic titles to read next! This was such a sweet book, and I look forward to reading more from its series!

Nibbles likes to nibble on books. They have the same ideas as my dog Demon. But Nibbles doesn’t nipple just on his own books, he escapes and nibbles though Goldilocks, Red Riding hood and others. It will take a careful creature to catch Nibbles and get him home. This book was fun, but would be a bit hard to do for story time. However, I do think it would be a great Reader’s theater, or puppet show.

Thank you Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley for the advance digital reading copy of this book.

This was a cute story about a monster that likes to nibble his way through books. I like that this story is introducing children's classic stories to a new generation of children. I really like the colorful illustrations.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. The Nibbles books are great fun with lovely illustrations.

This book is adorable. It is interactive and stars a wee monster that you gotta love even though he is naughty. He, like Houdini, is an escape artist, and when gets out of his cage he heads straight for his first love.... his love of eating books! Yep, Nibbles is a book monster!

He bounds straight for the classics: Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks and the Three Bears too. Today he is fine dining on fairytales. He chomps, munches, and nibbles through their pages causing damage and emotional stress to the main characters and their story plots. Oh my! Can anyone stop him and put him back in his cage where he belongs?

Kids lift flaps and peek thorough peep holes to try and track down this precocious, adventurous little guy. The interactive cut-outs are very effective and the author/illustrator has added many fun features, one being, trying to locate Nibbles in the midst of all the mayhem he is creating. All the detailed illustrations are very kid-friendly and mesmerizing. The story is open-ended leaving a perfect opportunity for a sequel which I hope she delivers. Both kids and adults will love this book and I highly recommend it.
