So long as you make sure you say what's on the page….Ī book which I think has a similar feeling and approach to its writing This Book Just Ate My Dog by Richard Byrne, which I think is definitely worth a look if you love The Book With No Pictures. Of course, 'how it should be done' is exactly whatever way you like. If you need any hints and tips, then there's an excellent video on Youtube which demonstrates how it should be done. If this book doesn't descend into loud giggles and mayhem then a small part of me can't help but think you're reading a different book. Making words fun is the best possible hope for getting kids to engage with literacy in a way that means they will carry it on into the future, and I think this book is at the forefront of finding out how to do that.

In not using pictures, the words have become the stars of this book and that is a very special thing indeed. And think you must! It's not an easy read, I planned and practised before I read it with my son because it builds and builds, requiring many a different voice. Taking the pictures away has made the author think differently, in turn forcing the person who's reading to think differently. To me though, this is nothing but a good thing. I feel slightly obligated to say that this book might not be for you, it's raucous and slightly mad, and very, very different. You can imagine just how much fun kids will have listening to adults spurt out words like 'blork', or sentences like 'I am a monkey who taught myself to read', can't you? A brilliant way to bring people together with a book.

Instead, it takes the premise that whoever is reading it has to say whatever is written on the page, no matter how ridiculous or stupid it might make them sound. True to its word, there are no pictures in this picture book.

The Book With No Pictures by B J Novak isn't just a little bit interesting, it is staggeringly original and so much fun. My favourite moments of reviewing books are ones just like this when I decide to take a chance on a book that I have no idea about but which looks like it might be just a little bit interesting, and it turns out they are.
