bj novak reading the book with no pictures

There is something special and distinct about the time when a book is read to you. and i still understand and appreciate what he's trying to do here. kids young enough to giggle at that are probably kids who'd enjoy a picture or two, and why wrest them from childhood before they need to be wrested?īut don't shout, i know this is an option, not a replacement for books with pictures. However, i think a book whose main appeal is to make adults say things like GLUURR GA-WOCKO MA GRUMPH-A-DOO for the delight of its chubby, sticky audience might be an indication that the child may perhaps be too young for dostoevsky. I like the idea that this might be the first book-without-pictures that some children experience, and that it could open their eyes and inspire them to wonder what might be in all those other books without pictures. i like cute things.Īnd as far as this book's mission statement goes, it's noble - to teach kids that books don't need pictures to be fun, and to instill a love for and curiosity about books.

You will end up saying silly things and making everybody laugh and laugh!ī.j. If a kid is trying to make you read this book, the kid is playing a trick on you. In ridiculous voices.Īt once disarmingly simple and ingeniously imaginative, 'The Book With No Pictures' inspires laughter every time it is opened, creating a warm and joyous experience to share-and introducing young children to the powerful idea that the written word can be an unending source of mischief and delight. Words that might make you say silly sounds.

Warning! This book looks serious but it is actually completely ridiculous!Īfter all, if a book has no pictures, there's nothing to look at but the words on the page.
