About this listen

This innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any listener into a comedian.

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.)

What the critics say

"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)
