The Book Hog

The character's love for books is so endearing and exaggerated—I'm curious if the author drew from personal childhood reading habits or aimed to encourage kids' reading passions.

The artwork really brings the story to life, especially the expressive faces. What do others think about how illustrations enhance the humor and emotions here?

The Book Hog's quirks are celebrated rather than mocked. Did this message resonate with anyone else's experiences of feeling different as a child?
