The Book With No Pictures

Product Information

J. Novak hilariously proves his point: that a book with only words can be as amusing and engaging as one with images. because while a lot of celebrity-types have written children's books, even celebrities i personally happen to enjoy in their day jobs, it always seems so … easy.

He is also acclaimed for his standup comedy, his performances in motion pictures , and his New York Times bestselling book of short stories, One More Thing. If you have the right person reading it with all the voices, I can see this book being a gigantic hit with a lot of kids. 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? Optimal conditions for reading: children listeners have just consumed >5 Pixy Stix each and adult reader is former theater major. The whole idea of a book is still new and exciting, and the experience is about the bond between the adult and the child just as much as it is between the child and the book.

When I was a school librarian, and the Invention of Hugo Cabret was taking the library by storm, I had a ton of parents who couldn't understand why their 1st and 2nd graders were clamoring for the giant book.

He is also acclaimed for his standup comedy, his performances in motion pictures, and his New York Times bestselling book of short stories, One More Thing. He is also acclaimed for his stand-up comedy, his performances in motion pictures and his New York Times bestselling book of short stories, One More Thing. Also optimal if no one in storytime audience is legitimately named "Booboo Butt" or comes from a family of monkeys (or worse, robot monkeys), as all of these things are mocked mercilessly.

Goodreads is about to get slammed with reviews of this book, as Novak just presented at the closing session of the American Library Association Conference. While reading, I could instantly identify the kids who would love it, and I'm sure this one will be a great storytime choice for teachers and librarians. And obviously shows to the children who prefer picture books that books without pictures can also be interesting, funny, entertaining and worthy of rereading! The comic pacing and foolproof theatrics ensure a wild and silly trip through the pages for everyone.
