Novak will turn any reader into a comedian.<br></b><br> You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here's how books work. Everything written on the page <i>has</i> to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . <p/> BLORK.

(And parents will be happy to oblige.) <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Conceptually radical . . . making the refreshing and contrarian case that words alone have sensory and imaginative vibrancy to spare.--Mark Levine, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>* "This book may not have pictures, but it's sure to inspire lots of conversations--and laughs . . .

Once children get the joke, they'll want to play it on as many of their grownups as possible.-- <i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i> <p/>Unlike any of the children's books you read growing up.--<i> Bustle.com</i> <p/>Will have little ones laughing and finding a new appreciation for words.-- <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>A perfectly-pitched tool for parental humiliation and childish glee.--<i> The Boston Globe </i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> B.J.
