What do you think of this children's book? "The Book With No Pictures"

Novak’s The Book with No Pictures comes by its title honestly; the book is one filled with only words, in different fonts and colors and sizes. Funny, creative, and smart, the book, which forces the reader to say a slew of ridiculous words, is guaranteed to get a laugh out of any kid you know

Well, based on the trailer, it seems like they are loving it. Their laughter was making me laugh. Have you had a favorite moment from doing this tour of reading?

At the school that the reading was at [in the trailer]—it’s a very orderly school. They had to calm the kids down after I read the line “Boo Boo Butt.” We had to cut like 60 seconds out of the tape, because they’re going crazy. They’re practically running around. They had to do a whole ritual of “1, 2, 3, shhh” to quiet them back down. After it was all done, they had a very orderly way to get the kids out, in line, and back to their classrooms. But one tiny little five-year-old African American girl just bursts out and ran out of the line, hugged me and pointed at me and said “You are hilarious.” And that’s been the highlight so far.
