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!Trade ReviewPraise for I Don't Want to Read This Book:“I Don't Want to Read This Book . . . is in the same family as books like The Book With No Pictures and The Serious Goose. A funny read-aloud, it breaks the fourth wall and engages young readers who are normally reluctant to pick up a book.” —People.com“This satirical picture book . . . hilariously lists all the things he’d rather be doing than actually reading this book.” —Variety“Hilarious and thoughtful.” —Parents Magazine“Invites reluctant readers on a wry, irreverent adventure, with exuberant drawings and graphics, and lots of winks to kids who will wink back.” —Romper“Greenfield's irreverent text demolishes the fourth wall, and Lowery's peppy pencil and digital-media renderings of his words have a vibe reminiscent of a child's journal, with doodle-style drawings accenting his dynamic renditions of Greenfield's words. For avid and reluctant readers alike, this tongue-in-cheek, metafictive send-up of reading as a chore is delightfully unlikely to live up to its title.” —Shelf Awareness “Genuinely funny . . . A feisty manifesto and appealing visual experience.” —Kirkus Reviews“Silly, funny, and visually appealing, this work will appeal to reluctant and avid readers . . . A great classroom read-aloud bound to make listeners join in the fun.” —School Library Journal“Colorfully eye-catching and visually compelling.” —Publishers Weekly“Perfect for reluctant and avid readers alike, I Don’t Want to Read This Book will have kids cracking up on every page.” —Books to Borrow . . .
