I Don't Want to Read this Book

"I Don't Want to Read this Book" is a brilliant and humorous picture book designed to engage even the most resistant young readers. Written by Max Greenfield and illustrated by Mike Lowery, this book breaks the fourth wall, with the book itself speaking directly to the child, acknowledging their reluctance to read. It uses playful language, clever illustrations, and a highly interactive style to gently coax children into the joy of reading, making them laugh along the way. Perfect for ages 4-11, it normalizes the feeling of not wanting to read while subtly demonstrating the fun and satisfaction a book can offer.

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. This is a tongue-in-cheek take on the challenges and pleasures of reading 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! --
