The best-selling picture book, "The Book-Eating Fox," has been published!
23 years later, the same delicious book reading!
Mr. Fox's love story is made even more vivid and fun to enjoy as a picture book!

『The Book-Eating Fox』, first published in Korea in 1991, has finally been published as a picture book.
This story, about a woman who loves books so much that she eats them with salt and pepper after reading them, is also the first book by author Franziska Biermann.
This story, written and illustrated by the author himself, drew an enthusiastic response from readers when it was first published in Germany, and became an important book that reminds us of the importance of not only reading but also writing.
Parents who nag their children to read books and children who listen to them both hate it.
But in 『The Book-Eating Fox』, the nagging to read books is presented in such an interesting way.
The story of this fox man's love for books, who loves books so much that he swallows them whole, made it impossible for children to not love books.
Moreover, you sprinkle a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper on the book and eat it deliciously, making the book completely your own after reading it. Could there be a more interesting love story about a book than this?

A picture book edition that proves its long-standing popularity has been released!
A book recommended to children by parents of the generation that grew up reading "The Book-Eating Fox"!
Newly illustrated picture book version by author Franziska Biermann
A book that allows you to enjoy comparing the differences from the original version.

"The Book-Eating Fox" has now become a book that spans generations.
Those who read this book while attending elementary school have now become mothers and fathers and recommend it to their children.
As if to prove that Mr. Fox's love for books never changes even as time passes.
With the publication of this book, author Franziska Biermann has redrawn the entire picture of The Book-Eating Fox.
The picture book version was enlarged and some background pictures were touched up.
The stories that could not be fully expressed in writing but were only expressed through pictures have become richer.
And Mr. Fox's face also changed slightly.
About this, author Franziska Biermann says:


“Mr. Fox changed little by little.
I've gained a little weight and my eyes look at the world a little more rounded.
“I really like this look.”

As 23 years have passed, in this picture book edition, Mr. Fox appears to have become more relaxed and mature.
As I prepare for a new adventure, I am enjoying the book again today, hoping to meet readers who are encountering it for the first time, or perhaps even before.
