Edible Book Challenge!
Time to eat your words!
Fun for families or individuals
Have you heard of the International Edible Book Festival?
Since 2000 this worldwide festival is celebrated in early April. People create and display edible books. Entries are photographed and promptly eaten. It’s great fun and has been enjoyed at public libraries, schools, restaurants and elsewhere.
Edible displays are based on literary works. These can be related to adult or children books.
Entrants show off fancy culinary skills or share some less appetizing fare focused on clever wordplay.
Here’s how our “virtual” challenge will go:
Submit your own (or your family’s) unique creation by photo to littlibyouth@gmail.com
by Saturday,April 11th
The entries should be original and fully edible.
Include in your email the following information :
Title of edible book entry:
Family or individual name (first name(s):
Ingredients used:
Your taste rating:
We will display the photos on facebook and judge entries in the following categories:
Most creative
Punniest
Yummiest looking

You can display your masterpiece for everyone to enjoy and then have a blast eating it!
You may earn some unique bragging rights! Hopefully we can continue this tradition in person in the future!
Included are examples from recent festivals held at Dartmouth College Library in Hanover NH. and other public library celebrations.
