Actor and author BJ Novack has written and published an ingenuous book for young readers that addresses this issue called The Book With No Pictures. We enjoyed watching him read his book out loud to a group of primary school children, and think you will enjoy watching it too. Click here to watch his lively reading. You won't regret it.

If you like the premise of this book, you might also enjoy books such as Mo Willems' We Are in A Book, Herve Tullet's Press Here! or Jon Stone's classic There's a Monster at the End of This Book! All of these stories play with the interaction between readers and the words on the pages of the books that they read, and they all make for highly interactive books to read out loud with a child.
What a hoot! Thank you for sharing the video and the idea.
