You might think a book with no pictures would be boring and serious.
Except . . . here's how this book works:

Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say BLORK. Or BLUURF.

And even if they have to say things like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and MY HEAD IS MADE OF BLUEBERRY PIZZA!

That's the rule. That's the deal.

US comic writer and actor, B. J. Novak's brilliantly irreverent and very, very silly The Book With No Pictures will delight kids and grownups alike!

A surprise hit with my two 3-year-olds

27 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I flipped through this book before wrapping it up for Christmas, and I was a little skeptical that my kids would dig it. When I pulled it out at bedtime tonight and said “This is a Book With No Pictures,” my son whined, as if on cue. However, to my great surprise, they both started giggling hysterically from the very first “BLORK,” and did not stop until the book was finished. It was like magic!

You will notice that many of the one-star reviews are from adults who determined that the book was stupid without field-testing it on an actual kid. Big mistake.

A lot of the other one-star reviews are from people who object to speaking of a hippo named “Boo Boo Butt.” Tough crowd...

Beyond me how this could ever be a fun book for kids

21 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I'm just appalled that this book has so many raving reviews. I bought it to give as a gift to friends kid but I just can't. It's just incredibly stupid idea and reads as though an excuse letter written to adults trying to explain why it's so stupid... And there are only 3 or 4 places where the book actually has adult say something supposedly funny (because of non-existing gibberish sounds)... My thought on this book is that no parent needs to spend this or any kind of money in order to make silly noises at their kids. This is just stupid and it's beyond me how it's possible that kids love this book. It makes me wonder what other interests kids are exposed to or what other books they are being read, and the type of interaction they get from their adults if they love this type of book so much.

Great way to show kids that you don't have to have pictures in every book.

I bought this book for a Christmas present for my son who just turned 4 y/o a few weeks before Christmas. I thought it was a goofy/fun read, but wasn't sure how he'd feel about it not having any pictures. When I first told him the book didn't have any pictures his reaction was exactly what you'd expect from a newly 4 y/o.... "I don't want to read that"... But I had half expected this and calmly sat down on the couch and started reading it out loud. It didn't take long at all before he was jumping up and down laughing his head off as I read the book out loud giving the pages the over the top voice it deserves. Immediately after I finished reading my son requested that I read it again. That's actually been his response every time it's been read to him. He just can't get enough of this book. It's a great book to read to kids, but it does require it to be read out loud to achieve the true brilliance of this book. I strongly recommend reading it with some of your own nuances put into it as opposed to doing it dry. You'll have a lot more fun reading it that way and your kid(s) will be roaring with laughter as you seem to have a crisis in reading the parts of the book that (as a "responsible adult") the book 'makes' you read.
Definitely a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys hearing their kid(s) laugh.

Outrageously silly and a total winner!

19 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Our 4 year old is always pestering us to "let me see the pictures" of her books every night, making storytime drag on forever...so I thought this would be great to chill her out at bedtime. NOT! She laughs so hard she gets the hiccups and has tears rolling down her face by the time we're 2/3 through the book! What a perfect idea!

Genius!

I first saw The Book with No Pictures on a Facebook post and I thought it was so cool I just had to get it for my daughter. At first when I started reading it to her, she is almost 4, I thought that she may not like it as much as I had hoped. But once I got the hang of reading it, and was able to really get into it emotionally and use different voices and such, she really really enjoyed it! By the end of the book she was super excited and ran to tell daddy all bout the silly book with no pictures! I think this book is an awesome book to get kids to realize that books can be fun no matter if you have something to look at or not. Definitely a cute little book and I love that we added it to our book collection!

~Thanx!~
