A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)

MYNT is a Storytelling focused roleplaying system for pen and paper or miniatures campaigns. It is designed to focus on Storytelling through roleplaying. It can work with any setting. Combat is possible but it is not the focus of this system. It was designed to get players doing more than swinging swords or shooting blasters with the goal of beating a particular number in order to succeed. Action and Adventure is a success story on the part of the Hero. Think Han Solo, Indiana Jones or Jack Sparrow have to talk, trick or fight their way out of a situation and be smart about it, but things never really going as they planned. This system is designed for just such events. (How sad is it that I can only think of male characters that act in this way.)

As he gets up in the morning and goes to school, a boy alternates between saying "Yes" and "No" to everything he is asked.

A class trip to the zoo descends into a chaotic hunt for the missing hippopotamus. Teacher, zookeeper and all the children join the search.

That's Not a Hippopotamus is a deft and delightful tale, packed with word play and madcap energy--and with a whole different story to enjoy in the illustrations.

First published in 1988, with Lynley Dodd's famed bouncy rhymes and delightfully expressive animal illustrations, this robust board book edition is perfect for reading with babies and toddlers.
