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.)

	My Book With No Pictures
	Have you or your child ever wanted to write your own version of THE BOOK WITH NO PICTURES? Now is your chance, in this fill-in-the-blanks book that puts the power of words directly into your hands. Bonus sheet of nonsense stickers included!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—The actor (and writer, producer, and director) has penned his first picture book, but can it be called a picture book when there are no pictures? Entering the field of unique interactive books begging to be opened, including Hervé Tullet's Press Here (Chronicle, 2011) and Adam Lehrhaupt's Warning: Do Not Open This Book! (S. & S., 2013), this title will instantly intrigue children. Upon opening the book, readers are drawn in ("Here is how books work: everything the words say, the person reading the book has to say. No matter what."). What follows is an uproariously raucous time, with readers being forced to utter nonsense words ("blork," "bluurf") and phrases that will have young listeners in stitches ("And my head is made of blueberry pizza."). Admittedly, there are no illustrations, but Novak has employed the use of various sizes of black typeface with expansive white space and color to highlight some of the text. 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.—Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA

Review

"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

"A perfectly-pitched tool for parental humiliation and childish glee."— The Boston Globe

I read another teacher’s copy and HAD to get one for myself!!!

In spite of lacking pictures or a general plot, this book is SO fun to read! Your children and/or students, will be laughing their asses off! {As long as you roll with it & get as silly as the book intends! ;-) }

If you are an educator who incorporates emotions & fun into your reading, this book is for you!

& I’m just a substitute! 😘

Purchased this to read aloud to a local preschool classroom. Though there are no pictures, the kids loved it! Even better when read with special voices and a theatrical approach. The room was full of giggles.

Gales of laughter from age 2, still going at age 6

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book was gifted to us when my oldest son was 2yo, and he thought it was the funniest thing ever. My youngest son thought the same beginning around age two (GALES of laughter and requests to read it again as soon as I finished), and still loves it at age 6. My oldest is now 9 and still thinks it's funny and will listen when I read it to his little brother, but no longer asks for it or laughs uproariously like he used to. So I would say it's best from around age 2 (at least for highly verbal kids--maybe older for some kids?) through age 6-8. Note: This book heavily depends on the adult reading it being willing to do funny voices and make funny sounds, as laid out by the words of the book (e.g. changing to a different voice when the book says "I'm reading this in my monkey voice" and changing again when it switches to being a robot monkey). If you just read this to a kid in a normal voice without "playing along" with the premise of the book, it will probably flop. If you play along, young kids will think it's the funniest thing ever.

Silly book, AWESOME book

My daughter got this from the Library and I read it super silly with my two kids (8 and 4) ... and they just laughed and laughed. Now we have some 'inside jokes' from the book, and we call each other "Ba-Doongy Face" :D Absolutely love this book and the silly it is teaching my kids. They get plenty of that from me too, but this book reinforces it and its so fun

My 5 year old son loves this book. I suspect he'd of been into it at 4, 3 definitely not. The key of course is delivery, you've got to get into it and really ham it up but it's worth it for those giggles.

I almost always have this book on hand to give as a gift, especially for 3 and 4 year olds. It is super cute and very funny. Your goofy kiddos will love it! My 6 year old asked me to read it at school for his class this year so he still loves it. Great book!

A fun, interesting book. It takes quite a lot of effort to read this book but I guess it is a good intro to books with no pictures.
