In this action-packed picture book, our main character is convinced they’re not in a book. After all, if this was a book there’d be pages to turn and problems to solve. But hold on, we’ve turned the page … and why are those pirates stealing that treasure? The perfect introduction to storytelling, This is NOT a Book! is metafiction made fun!

In this fun-filled, action-packed picture book, our main character is quite convinced they’re not in a book. After all, if this was a book, there’d be pages to turn … Oops! We’ve just turned the page.

But that’s not conclusive proof this is a book. If it was a book, there’d be interesting settings and problems to solve. Hold on! Why is our lead character being chased by a lion? Why are pirates stealing treasure? And are those mermaids playing in a rock band?

This is NOT a Book! is the perfect introduction for kids to how a book is structured and how to tell a good story. It’s metafiction made fun!
