Read as a child, now reading it to my class

"I had this book as a child and recently re-found my copy from a few years ago. . I brought it to the daycare I work at to read with the kids (ages 3-5) and they LOVE IT!!!!! Put the book on the bookshelf and every day at least 1 child comes up to me with this book and asks ""can you read me this book"" and every single time I say ""ooooo!! This looks like a fun book! I don't think I've read this books before! Yea let's read it"" and so we read it and I hear their laughter and giggles and smiles all over again. Myself and these kids LOVE the Book with no Pictures."

Super fun book

"This is the cutest book. Had so much fun reading it to me kids that I now buy it as a gift."

— TBDS (5/5)

Funny, but maybe not for everyone.

"This is a very funny premise, and it can work when you have a kid that likes to put people to read, but it feels like it may fall flat for some, and it also feels less useful if you have your kid read along you."

— Braver (4/5)

Great, funny book for young kids

"My 6-year old son loves it, he thinks it's so funny"

— Diana (5/5)

A very fun book for kids

"My kids love this! We can read it over and over and they continue to love it!"

— ACindigo (5/5)

"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."— Publishers 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
