The Book With No Pictures is a funny read-aloud experience for young children that may also inspire conversation about the power of the written word and the nature of a book itself. Some questions that could be discussed:
· How do books work? Was it surprising to read a book with no pictures at all?
· Why was this book able to be funny even without pictures?
· What other kinds of things could a book say? (Anything!)
· If you wrote a book, what you have it say?
