Looked in/into the book

He looked in/into the book and started reading out loud to her.

Is there any difference between them?

Thank you in advance.

Grammatically you could use either one, but the standard phrase here, in my opinion, is

He opened the book and starting reading ....

Your original sentence didn't say he opened the book, but if you want to say that you can.

eg He opened the book and started reading out loud to her.
