While there are no images, the text decorates the pages with giant colourful words. As you read this book your children’s faces will light up with glee as you, the grown-up, bound by the rules of the book, are forced to sing nonsensical songs and spout funny confessions in silly voices page after page.One of the best features of this book is the use of font. Except there’s a rule about reading books, a rule that the reader might not be aware of.“Everything the words say, the person reading the book has to say.No matter what.That’s the deal.That’s the rule.”This means that the person reading the book has to read all the words, even if it’s a song about eating bugs off the rug or proclaiming out loud that your only friend in the whole wide world is a hippo named BOO BOO BUTT. It all seems very serious, and quite dull. Print.As the title suggests, this book has no pictures, only words. New York: Dial Books for Young Readers-Penguin Group, 2014.
