Reviews
"Conceptually radical . . . making the refreshing and contrarian case that words alone have sensory and imaginative vibrancy to spare."-Mark Levine, The New York Times Book Review * ""This book may not have pictures, but it's sure to inspire lots of conversations-and laughs . . . A riotously fresh take on breaking the fourth wall.""- Kirkus, starred review "This book is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, and it's perfect for one-on-one sharing with a parent or caregiver. Expect requests for repeated readings."- School Library Journal "Actor Novak's expert sense of comic timing is on full display in his first picture book . . . sure to deliver big laughs."- P ublishers Weekly "Listeners will be tickled by hearing adults say ridiculous things . . . The comic pacing and foolproof theatrics ensure a wild and silly trip through the pages for everyone."- The Horn Book "This picture book with no pictures knows a thing or two about both books and kid-friendly comedy . . . Once children get the joke, they'll want to play it on as many of their grownups as possible."- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Unlike any of the children's books you read growing up."- Bustle.com "Will have little ones laughing and finding a new appreciation for words."- Entertainment Weekly "A perfectly-pitched tool for parental humiliation and childish glee."- The Boston Globe

Synopsis
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.

    Kids of all ages enjoy this book

    The book is outrageously silly...especially if your child loves reading, loves words, loves being silly and is allowed, by the content of this book, to be silly. My 9 year old great grandson fell in love with it immediately....listened to me read it, read it himself, and then read it again....all within a short time. It doesn't matter that he doesn't pronounce the words exactly as written.....he is autistic and loves reading....but that's the beauty of it.....this book allows for the child/reader to expand and explore and just enjoy having fun with words and a book. Love it. Get it.

    Book is in bad shape

    This book just arrived today. It came with rips and wrinkles on the front protective cover. The actual hard cover has tears on the corners and spine. The inside of the book is written in. I knew this book would be used, but in my opinion it should not have been resold. It’s not worth $1.

  • Storytime Hit!

    The Book with No Pictures is the perfect choice for story hour, especially with kindergarten or first-grade boys. Not only are there no pictures, there is no plot -- just content that requires the adult reading the book aloud to make silly sounds and be goofy in general. Great fun!

  • Fun book for all ages, especially children

    My 7 year old grandaughter wanted this book because she had read it in school and loved it. I got it for her and we have read it together several times now, enjoying each and every time we read it. It is very clever and an easy quick read. It made us both laugh out loud.
