Description
Mr Book is determined to share nothing with readers but his pages have other ideas.
Mr Book With No Story wants his pages uncluttered by pictures and plot lines but images, questions and ideas keep invading the unruly pages, ignoring his efforts to chase them away. It turns out that Mr Book’s fear is having nothing to say but in this fun tribute to the creative process, he needn’t have worried.
Reviews
"The fourth wall comes tumbling down in a laugh-out-loud tale about a book that doesn’t want to tell a story. But his pages have other ideas so they band together and persuade him that everyone has something worthwhile to say. Eric Zelz’s pictures of the grumpy book (complete with elaborate moustache and a sombrero) are a hoot." — Books of the Year 2019, Mail on Sunday
