The Book With No Pictures


 

It may not be much to look at, this book is comedy dynamite! Open book for explosions of laughter. Books may not seem much fun if they don't have any pictures, but the person reading the book has to say the words in the book, no matter how silly they are! This was written by the American Office star BJ Novak, and cause a big social media stir when it was released; largely due to this video:

I got my library to order a copy straight away, because I could see straight away this would be storytime gold! It's been a loooong wait, but it finally arrived today! I read it to my 6 year old boy, and then had to read it again straight away. He was howling with laughter! It's not the ideal thing to read if you want them calm for bed, but it's the perfect thing to read if you want to help make your children enthusiastic about words and books!
 
Here's my son's reaction to the book, after its second consecutive reading:


Letter O! The Frozen/ Sesame Street homage that kids and parents love!

Anyone keeping even half an eye on this blog will have noticed that I've been as quiet as a ninja masquerading as a mime artist over the last year. It's not that I've been lazy, but I've had to make sure I dedicate writing time to the stories I'm doing if I ever want to get published! I'll try to post more things on here over the next little while, but here's something that you may like to see: a video that I made with my kids, that 's all about the letter O. If you have kids, then I'm sure they're obsessed with Disney's Frozen as well, and the chances are, you might be too! And as Sesame Street hadn't adapted Let it Go, I thought I'd do the job for them! I hope you enjoy it. And yes, it's me doing all the singing.
