This large-format boardbook contains the whole world of childhood. There's a kitchen, and all the things in it. There are planes and ships, plants and animals, colors and clothing . . . with enchanting small stories on every page. A perfect companion to the popular Big Book of Animals of the World.

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! 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.)

Labelled illustrations provide hundreds of words relating to things commonly found in a child's world.

Describes a program in which the study of the illustrations in children's books is used to help children in the primary grades develop writing skills.
