The book with no pictures to read7/4/2023 You can see in their expressions, they’re sure this book is gonna be bleh. The faces droop a little and glaze over a bit. When you explain to them that this book has no pictures and that might seem like “no fun” as the story says. It’s funny to watch kids’ faces when you first start reading this book. It’s more of an (air quotes) “Against their will,” but you get the idea. And in the case of this book, they can make you laugh. Words can make you happy, sad, scared, excited, surprised. And a couple of deeper lessons that kiddos may not realize they’re learning from this book are the importance of listening, and that words are powerful for eliciting emotions. First and foremost is that even before you can read, you can still enjoy a book that doesn’t have illustrations. To be certain, the “silly” is the best part of this book, but amidst it all, there are lessons here for kiddos. Long story short, even if your head is made of blueberry pizza, you’ll still love this book. But what it lacks in illustrations, it more than makes up for in gut-clutching preschool- and kindergarten-level humor. The Book With No Pictures (find at your local library or purchase from Amazon) is exactly what the title says - page after page of nothing but words. A purchase through these links supports Preschooligans at no additional cost to you and helps us continue to provide free educational resources.
