A hilarious picture book companion to I Don't Want to Read This Book by actor Max Greenfield, adapted for audio!
We all know kids who carry a book everywhere they go. Kids who can't stop reading, even if it's long after bedtime. Kids who love nothing more than sitting quietly in the corner, turning page after page...
This book is a love letter to all the other kids. The ones who wouldn't dream of asking for a book as a present. The ones who unwrap the box hoping to find anything—a dog, a skateboard, even socks—besides a book.
Packed with clever, fourth-wall-breaking gags from Max Greenfield (New Girl), this ideal listen may not wag its tail or come with wheels, but it's sure to have even the most reluctant bibliophiles laughing all the way to the end.
Praise for This Book Is Not a Present:
“Rollicking good humor and the celebrity shine of the first book will ensure that this book is requested over and over again.” —School Library Journal
“With cartoon-like graphics and bold typography, this book will get a laugh out of reluctant readers!” —Brightly
Max Greenfield is a New York–born actor who is best known for being interrupted by his two beautiful children, Lilly and Ozzie, as he writes this bio. Max tries to tell them that this is important and to please leave him alone, but neither child believes this, as they are certain that Mommy is the one with more important things to do and Daddy just acts silly on TV sometimes. He is the author of I Don't Want to Read This Book. Follow him on Instagram @iammaxgreenfield.
