Novak, B. (2014). The Book With No Pictures. New York, NY: Dial Books
A book by a comedian is bound to have something for adults to find funny. You can find it funny that a book on the New York Times Children's Picture Book best sellers list doesn't have any pictures. BJ Novak's book makes young kids laugh even though they do not have pictures to look at. It is all about the words and the image they put in the readers' head. The words chosen to be a part of this book are funny. The reader has to say silly nonsense words and if you are reading to a class of kindergarteners they will laugh uncontrollably.
There is not much to say about the book about why to choose it to read to kids other than they will find it funny. The sentence structure is not complex and the language doesn't serve a purpose other than to be humorous. I would read this book more as a bed time story.
