B. J. Novak
A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)

"<strong>Cute book!</strong><br/><br/>As I'm here in quarantine I'm still trying to find books to read to my students and this book didn't disappoint. As a music teacher, I'm always telling the kids you make pictures in your mind when you hear the sounds. This book helps to emphasize that. I loved it. They will too."

"Yet another read aloud. I can't tell you how many times my son has asked and still asks to check this book out from the library. <br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Hilarious read aloud! Be prepared to read this one over and over and over again.<br/><br/>There is one page that might offend some parents. The premise of this book is that the reader must read whatever is written in the book. "Everything the words say, the person reading the book has to say." And so, to be silly, the reader reads nonsense words such as "blork," and bluurf, and phrases such as "I am a monkey who taught myself to read." One page has the words "boo boo butt," which could cause the parent disapproval. But in all, this book is sure to catch your child's attention and keep them wildly entertained. Get your best read aloud voices ready!"
