The Book With No Pictures

I love reading books to children! When I took this book out of my bag, and told the children with a very serious voice,”This is a book with no pictures”. They looked at me wide eyed waiting. We laughed thru the entire book!

I usually order new books, but I am a guest reader for my daughter's kindergarten class tomorrow, and the only option available was a "used- very good condition." We already have a copy, but I wanted to donate the copy once read to my daughter's classroom. I needed this book, and accidentally forgot to order it sooner, so I needed it fast. Delivery date was supposed to be day of my guest reading day, if it wasn't here in time I had planned to bring our copy and drop off the donated one when it arrived. Let's just say I was very pleased to arrive home today to find the copy had come a day early. Not only that but I wear this book has never even been opened. No creases on the spine or pages, no marks anyway. Perfect book for a great price. And my 5 year old was thrilled to be able to hold the books I plan to bring tomorrow. She happily stacked them all on the table before bed tonight, eager for Mom to read to her friends. "The Book with No Pictures" is one of her favorites. We must have read it every night for a month when we first got it. But parents beware! You need personality for this book! Get ready to use funny voices, and prepare yourself for made up words. It's hilarious and entertaining, but you can make it even more so! Thanks to the seller for a great buy!

A few years ago, a librarian recommended this book when I was looking for books to read to my kindergarten nephew. He absolutely loved it! He laughed and laughed, and immediately wanted his mom and then his grandparents to read it to him. I have recommended this book to several parents, and just bought this copy for my great-nephew. As a retired elementary school teacher, I highly recommend this book to read to young children. I don’t think you can go wrong with it!

My kindergarten students love this book! They think it’s the funniest thing ever and ask for it all the time. I usually have parents read it during school read-in days, and it’s always a hit—everyone laughs, and the kids stay focused the whole time. It’s a great way to show that reading can be silly and fun, even without pictures. Definitely recommend for classrooms or as a gift for young kids!

My kids love this book. "Boo Boo Butt" has become a catchphrase in our home. IYKYK

This book is SO fun!!!! Kids LOVE IT! It’s silly will leave kids giggling! The best part is that when different people read it, they make different sounds so it feels like a new book! definitely get this if you are thinking about it!

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.

Got this book today and it's good except for the fact that it has some dark stuff on the cover. You can feel it on there too. I don’t know what it is, but its disappointing that it arrived dirty like this.

My grandson (4) thought this book was hilarious. He laughed out loud throughout it and asked for it to be read again. When i visited him several days later, he asked if he could visit to read that 'funny book' again.

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

Our daughter came home from school telling us that her teaher read this out loud for her reception class and that everyone found it so funny. I decided to buy it to replicate this fun at home and also because if she is interested in a book I can get her to read from it which is of course good practice for her. Well it is quite funny, I can see why a reception class would find it hilarious! And she will help me read it too, so its win win!
