Boolino sent me this remarkable book.
The first thing that struck me when I looked at this book was the paper torch at the back
.
The book is hard back and spiral bound which makes it easy to read while using the torch because the pages stay open. The front cover is quite striking giving a clue to what is inside.
This is an extremely interesting and educational book which explains the food chain of animals in a simple way which children will understand. There are dark transparent pages throughout which I wasn’t sure why they were there at first glance, once I pushed out the paper torch I soon discovered the meaning, when the torch is placed behind the page, as if by magic images light up making the book even more enticing for the reader.
Towards the end of the book it explains briefly how much food some animals eat, this, I think, will appeal to boys especially as in my experience boys can sometimes be a little reluctant to read so this with the addition of the torch feature may just persuade them . The back inside cover has a place to store the paper torch keeping it safe ensuring that it can be used every time the book is read.
What animals eat is published by moonlight publishing and retails at £8.54, making it great value for money in my opinion. It would suit children aged 5-8 years.

Lovely book and I loved the idea of the torch , the extra offer of a 20% discount is a good idea as well. Ideal Christmas present.
What a lovely book, I think my son would love this. #mondaystumble
What a novel book! No pun intended. My two and a half year-old is an absolute book worm and something like this will be ideal when he’s a little older. I love the interactive element to this book, always good to engage kids in the book with little prompts! #TwinklyTuesday
What a great idea to have a torch included! I’ve never heard or seen anything like this before. Thanks for linking to #sharethejoylinky
My youngest would adore this! Maybe one for the stocking this year. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸
cute!
I have never heard of this book, but sounds really interesting and something a bit different X #pointshoot
What a lovely idea for a book, thanks for sharing
The paper torch idea sound sbrilliant. A really good engaging way to keep kids interested in reading! Sounds quite an interesting topic too, even for adults…until you’ve read it 30 times as in my experience we read books a lot more than once!
#thesatsesh ohhh my son would love this, he adores both torches and animals. Is the book ‘word’ heavy? thanks as always for joining us x
There are quite a lot of words, but nothing too technical would suit ages 5-8 years x
What a fun book! And a flashlight too. Who wouldn’t enjoy this one! #pointshoot xoxo
This is a book my 10 year old son would love! He loves reading about animals and the having to use a flashlight would really get him excited about it. Thanks for sharing this with us:) #Bloggerclubuk
These torch ones are so clever and Zach always finds them magical! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
We have a flashlight book and the little man loves it. It really helps them get involved with the book rather than just listening. Thanks for joining in at #TriumphantTales, do come back Tuesday!
Back from #mondaystumble and still loving this book and torch! xoxo
