Bookroo's summary

A child who detests reading faces a daunting challenge: a book brimming with words and paragraphs. But this isn't just any book—it's a playful, fourth-wall-breaking adventure that promises laughter and surprises. As the pages turn, the child discovers that reading might not be as dreadful as they thought. Will humor and unexpected twists transform their view on books forever? Dive into this hilarious journey and find out if a reluctant reader can become a book lover.

From the publisher

From actor Max Greenfield (from television’s New Girl) comes a hilarious picture book for every child who thinks they don’t like to read books (and all the kids–and grownups–who do). Words, sentences, and even worse, paragraphs fill up books. Ugh! So what’s a reluctant reader to do? Actor Max Greenfield (New Girl) and New York Times bestselling illustrator Mike Lowery bring the energy and laugh-out-loud fun out for every child (and parent) who thinks they don’t want to read a book. Joining the ranks of favorites like The Book With No Pictures and The Serious Goose, this clever and playful read-aloud breaks the fourth wall and will have all readers coming back for laughs again and again!
