What the cast said
Welcome back to StoryBeam, the daily podcast where imagination shines bright.
I'm Kat.
I'm Allison.
Happy Wacky Wednesday everyone!
Oh, it is the wackiest Wednesday ever on StoryBeam because today we are reading a book that doesn't have a single illustration.
Our StoryBeam is shining a light on a book where the grown -up reading it has to say every single word on the page, no matter how ridiculous it is.
We are reading the book with no pictures by B.J. Novak.
Mommy has to say ridiculous things.
I sure do.
Let's get started and see what kind of wacky things this book is going to make me say today.
Let's get listening you, Zon.
I've got mine.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Let's read!
Here the cast reads The Book with No Pictures by B.J. Novak. The book's own words stay with its author and publisher, so that part of the recording is not written out. Press play to hear it.
Bonk. I didn't want to say that.
Eeeep.
I cannot believe this book just made me say that my head is made of blueberry pizza.
That's ridiculous.
That is completely wacky.
Co-host, what was the silliest word I had to say today?
Boo -boo -bat.
That one was definitely hard to say without giggling.
Grown-ups, if today's interactive laughter made your morning,
our StoryBeam suggestion for your next library trip is
We Are in a Book by Mo Willems.
It's another incredibly fun interactive story
where Elephant and Piggy realize they are being read by a real person
and make the reader say funny things.

And don't forget...
Keep on reading!
Bye!

The whole joke is that the grown-up has no choice. Hand the book to whoever protests loudest.
