The Book with No Pictures

De: B. J. Novak

Narrado por: B. J. Novak, Busy Philipps

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.)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

One of my favorite books, read by the author

I love that they offer both a male and female narration. This is one of my absolute favorite children’s stories. It is so much fun. It contains a lot of nonsense words, so I liked the chance to listen to the Audible version to see how Novak pronounces everything. He does a great narration job. It is a simple read-along performance.

Hilarious, and TWO great performances!

Just about every kid is going to love this funny book...and so will adults! Great buy!

My kid is in STICHES!

What made the experience of listening to The Book with No Pictures the most enjoyable?

It is just hysterical. and it was made to read aloud!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Book with No Pictures?

My child is laughing a lot~~~

Which character – as performed by B. J. Novak and Busy Phillips – was your favorite?

They are both great, its nice to have the different interpretations. just be aware.... you're going to have to listen to the book twice!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I haven't seen my child laugh that authentically in awhile. Thank you.

Kids love this book

Kids love this book so got it on audible. They like the book better than this audible. Was hoping they would like it more but they listened once and that was enough for them. They would rather get out the hardback and read it.

Best audiobook for kids ever! Hilarious!!! 😂

We just finished listening to it for the first time with my daughter (5.5yo) and son (3.5yo), and we just couldn’t stop laughing! 😂😂😂

This audiobook is simply easy and informative.

My Kids Love to Listen to this

My Kids Love to Listen to this almost as much as they love to read it. I mean who doesn't love a hippo named boo boo butt. Plus since there aren't any pictures in the book in the first place it is a great book to have as an audiobook.

fun listening for all

fantastic audio fun for any age! after borrowing this from free from our library's audiobook service, I had to buy it for my family. my kiddos, nieces, and nephews love listening to the narrators' renditions, whilst reading along with our hardcopy at home or listening on the go!
