The Book with No Pictures Hardcover – September 30, 2014
Purchase options and add-ons
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.)

- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2025Dear Mr. Novak,
While my husband and I were strolling our napping toddlers around Disneyland last December, you happened to quickly pass us by in the opposite direction. Excitedly, I clawed at my husband’s arm and whisper-screamed, “OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE WHO THAT WAS?? IT WAS B.J. NOVAK!!!” Without missing a beat, he responded, “B.J. Novak? You mean the author of The Book with No Pictures?!” In my mind, you were that funny dude from The Office, but, in that moment, I realized you were so much more than that to my young family.
We cannot possibly quantify how many moments of laughter and togetherness your book (with no pictures) has provided for our kids who hold us hostage every night until we read it to them before bed. The amount of glee, giggles, and squeals of absolute joy that this book (with no pictures) has produced is priceless and cherished. It has become such a staple in our lives that our kiddo had requested to gift this book (with no pictures) to all of his friends as a party favor at his fourth birthday celebration—and it was a hit.
Later that evening in December, while our kids were spilling their over-priced cups of Blue Milk in Star Wars Land, I conspiratorially turned to them and revealed, “You’ll never guess who walked by our stroller while you were napping… it was B.J. Novak!!” Their eyes got wide as they gasped, “B.J. Novak from The Book with No Pictures??” To which I responded, “No, you uncultured swine. He was the funny dude from The Office.” (Just kidding.)
Thank you, Mr. Novak, for The Book with No Pictures, a true literary delight for all Boo Boo Butts, big and small!
With love,
The Rockwell Family
P.S. Shout out to Auntie Aly who helped build our small library of non-traditional children’s books (including this one, with no pictures) while I was preggo in the pandemic. What an absolute gem.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025Everybody loved it . It was a good laugh for everybody who read it - adults and children!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Our 5-year-old granddaughter loves this book because of all the silly words it makes us say when we read it to her. She finds that hysterical. The fact that it has no pictures makes it even funnier. You can tell by the way the words are printed that they are going to be silly. Great book for preschoolers.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2025This is a great book for anyone with young children. Very fun for both the child and the adult. Would definitely recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2025This book is great! Perfect for kids that are just starting to get into reading and fun for the whole family — if they can take a joke!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025Our son absolutely LOVES this book. He makes every new visitor read it as a joke lol.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024My 4 year old started to cry when I told her we were going to read a book with no pictures. Very quickly though she was engaged and soon she couldn't stop laughing. It's just so silly and creative, we love it. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024No pictures! Everyone - reader and listener - gets to use their own imagination! If you grew up with certain rhyming, sound-effect, silly nonsense books (that to their credit had wonderful illustrations and sometimes a wonderful message too), your imagination might make mental pictures that look a certain way - but, that's not a problem - this book is fun and funny and original and can "look" different every time it's read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny clever book that kids loved
This book is a huge hit in our house (with four kids) so we gift it to cousins and friends. One child though very sceptical at first was won over by the humour.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in India on July 21, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious engagement
I bought this for a friend's son and I had a blast reading it myself. This book is great to encourage some bonding, where the adult lets their guard and makes those silly noises in the book, it is very engaging and very funny and warm too.
