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. And even if the words include things like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and MY HEAD IS MADE OF BLUEBERRY PIZZA!
That’s the rule. That’s the deal.

Brilliantly irreverent and very, very silly, The Book With No Pictures will delight kids and have them begging for more. From award-winning US comic writer and actor, B.J. Novak.

Funny

Why would anyone choose a book without pictures? Because the words are enough. You must put your acting hat on and perform this story out loud. The children love it and will beg for more.
Go on, read it, humiliate yourself, use your best silly voices, sing!

It made me laugh especially the page at the end where there are very funny words which don’t mean anything. I also like the different coloured words in the book .

Best book that I’ve ever read in my life. I like the silly bit that says “I am a monkey that taught myself to read”. It sounds silly and I like it.
