You might think a book with absolutely no pictures would be serious and boring. But here is the secret rule of this book: the person reading it has to say every single word written on the page. Exactly as it is written.
That means if the book says BLORK or BLUURF, the reader has to say it out loud. Even if the words force them to sing a ridiculous song about eating ants for breakfast, or make them shout goofy sounds like GLIBBITY GLOBBITY, they have no choice. The rules are the rules.
Get ready for a wildly funny reading experience that turns any grown-up into a comedian. This clever and irresistibly silly story proves that you do not need illustrations to have a hilarious adventure. It is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud and begging to hear it read again and again.
