![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
