Hungry? Bite into an edible book with UC Libraries

Once again, the University of Cincinnati Libraries will celebrate the International Edible Books Festival with an event scheduled for Monday, April 3rd from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Walter C. Langsam Library.

Submitted entries include intriguing titles such as “Hello, Lighthouse," "Catcher in the Rye" and "Blue Water." Animal-named books are popular this year with "Bone Dog from Nettle and Bone," "The Nest," "Grey Bees" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Thrillers such as "Frankenstein" and "1984" will intrigue attendees, while numerous children’s books will make people smile with such titles as "Harold and the Purple Crayon," "Winnie The Pooh," "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and "The Day the Crayons Quit.
