The Book With No Pictures a hilarious story that will make the reader sound silly and goofy.  One might not expect a book that doesn't have any pictures to appeal to children, but this is a book they will want to read again and again.  It demonstrates that words can be just as exciting as pictures, and reading is a whole lot of fun.  I highly recommend reading this book aloud to children of any age.  It will be an experience you won't forget.

Check out this video of author B.J. Novak reading the book aloud.

Fans of The Day the Crayons Quit will be thrilled to learn that the crayons are back!  The Day the Crayons Came Home just came out in August.  It has a similar format to its predecessor, in that the story is told primarily through letters to Duncan from his crayons.  In this case, however, they are postcards from crayons who have been lost, left behind, or forgotten about.  From Maroon Crayon who has spent the last 2 years lost in Duncan's couch, to Orange Crayon and Yellow Crayon who melted together when they were left outside in the sun, these poor crayons just want to come home.  Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers have hit another home run with this hilarious story.  Will there be a happy ending for these crayons?  Read The Day the Crayons Came Home to find out.
