The Book With No Pictures

A funny book that the kids love for me to read to them. Especially if you do funny voices and facial expressions as you read.

Dear Mr. Novak, While my husband and I were strolling our napping toddlers around Disneyland last December, you happened to quickly pass us by in the opposite direction. Excitedly, I clawed at my husband’s arm and whisper-screamed, “OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE WHO THAT WAS?? IT WAS B.J. NOVAK!!!” Without missing a beat, he responded, “B.J. Novak? You mean the author of The Book with No Pictures?!” In my mind, you were that funny dude from The Office, but, in that moment, I realized you were so much more than that to my young family. We cannot possibly quantify how many moments of laughter and togetherness your book (with no pictures) has provided for our kids who hold us hostage every night until we read it to them before bed. The amount of glee, giggles, and squeals of absolute joy that this book (with no pictures) has produced is priceless and cherished. It has become such a staple in our lives that our kiddo had requested to gift this book (with no pictures) to all of his friends as a party favor at his fourth birthday celebration—and it was a hit. Later that evening in December, while our kids were spilling their over-priced cups of Blue Milk in Star Wars Land, I conspiratorially turned to them and revealed, “You’ll never guess who walked by our stroller while you were napping… it was B.J. Novak!!” Their eyes got wide as they gasped, “B.J. Novak from The Book with No Pictures??” To which I responded, “No, you uncultured swine. He was the funny dude from The Office.” (Just kidding.) Thank you, Mr. Novak, for The Book with No Pictures, a true literary delight for all Boo Boo Butts, big and small! With love, The Rockwell Family P.S. Shout out to Auntie Aly who helped build our small library of non-traditional children’s books (including this one, with no pictures) while I was preggo in the pandemic. What an absolute gem.

This book is great for children and it’s not too long and not too short for enjoyment. Early readers will enjoy reading it and younger kids will love it if you read it to them.

The book has no pictures but it’s so fun to read because the reader is saying things that may not make sense or sound really silly. The 4-5 year olds loved it!

I bought this for a very goofy 4 year old after reading a review of recommended books for 3-5 year olds. This book is hysterical and fun for both the child being read to and the adult reading. Nonsensical and so fun.

Kids love this book once it's read to them because it's very interactive with the adult reader. I made a big deal about it having np pictures before I read it to an entire class of kids. I told them not all books they read will have puctures. They groaned. I said it didn'y mean it wasn't a good book. We have to listen to the words and make the puctures in our heads. Faces resting on hands in an already bored manner. But then I started to read. Hilarious to watch them go from bored to, "Wait...what?" to full-blown fun. They wanted me to read it again immediately. Which I did, but only after asking, "Are you sure? It's a book with no pictures." They were sure so I read it again.

This book makes me laugh every time. It is my go to book for all my younger cousins and friends kids. watching kids laugh while reading/listening is the best park BooBooButt reaction is worth the price of the book

It’s ok. Somehow feel like not worth the money as it’s few pages with A4 black words print on but on the other hand it is still a book and when I read the first time my girl laughed. Will see if she can read one day by herself. So it’s complicated feelings with it.

Keeps asking to read it. Adults NEED to be reading this for their children. It doesn't work when children read it by themselves, so... that's a thing to be aware of.

I was a bit hesitant to buy the book, because I could not imagine a picture book without pictures. But boy was I wrong! The book is hilarious, and my daughter absolutely loved it! I don't know if it would also work with younger kids (my daughter is 5), but may be worth a try. The whole premise of the book is making the reader say and do things that are just silly - but because a reader has to read what the words say... that just makes my daughter laugh out loud... Brilliant idea!

My son loves this book since we got it I have been reading it to him every night

mia figlia di 4.5 anni normalmente è molto riluttante a provare nuovi libri, le ho promesso che questo l'avrebbe fatta ridere e... così è stato! ha detto che "lo leggerà per tutta la vita"! (questo non so, ma già la prima sera l'abbiamo riletto altre 2 volte ^^')

Always a hit with children
