The Book With No Pictures

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion!

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.)

My Book with No Pictures

Have you or your child ever wanted to write your own version of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book With No Pictures? Now is your chance, in this fill-in-the-blanks book that puts the power of words directly into your hands. Bonus sheet of nonsense stickers included!

Words are amazing. They can be happy or sad, serious or goofy. And some of the best words of all are the ones that make you laugh—the ridiculous, preposterous words like those in The Book With No Pictures.

Now YOU can create some of those amazing words. YOU can write a book that makes grown-ups have to say silly things. Just fill in the blanks with whatever unusual, nonsensical words come to mind (or use the sticker sheet with its funny options). Then ask your favorite adult to read your book to you, and laugh and laugh at YOUR book with no pictures!
