EDIBLE OR NOT
BOOK ART CONTEST
Presented by Truman Middle School
TRUMAN LIBRARYMARCH 28TH
6:00-7:30 p.m.
WHAT IS AN EDIBLE BOOK ART CONTEST?
Edible books showcase literary inspiration by using puns to
change the title, the author, or take the shape or form of a book.
The festival honors French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-
Savarin (1755-1826), famous for his book, The Physiology of Taste,
a witty meditation on food. His birth date is April 1st. He wrote:
The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity
than the discovery of a new star.
The event is usually held on or close to April Fool’s Day.

1.Use one or more edible
ingredients!

THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER
Edible books are often eaten afterwards, but our
exhibits will not be eaten due to health hazards!
Also, due to the expense and waste of food items
during a poor economic time, a requirement is only 1
ingredient must be food.
Students do not have to participate!
