Why did I love this book?
This book hilariously shows us—and our kids—how a book with no pictures can be far more fun than a picture book. Both my kids loved it, for different reasons—my son for how ridiculous it was to “make” adults read it, my daughter because she used it as a jumpstart for her own “no-picture” book. The result of reading it is that you will have a conversation with your kids, and likely a funny one. You may even talk about what makes a good book, or why books exist. No matter how old your kids are, try to leave this one on the coffee table and see what comes of it.
5 authors picked The Book with No Pictures as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
This innovative and wildly funny read-aloud will be the Must Have book of the season. 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.
