Description
Another hilarious picture book from actor Max Greenfield, author of I Don't Want To Read This Book and This Book Is Not a Present, dedicated to introverts of all ages, about the horrors of reading aloud.
Nobody in the world actually enjoys reading aloud, do they? Impossible! After all, any number of terrible things could happen—you might come across a word you don't know how to pronounce. Or get distracted by a volcano eruption and lose your place.
Even worse, you might accidentally hear the sound of your own voice!
Actor Max Greenfield (known for New Girl, The Neighborhood) and New York Times bestselling illustrator Mike Lowery, the duo behind I Don't Want To Read This Book and This Book Is Not a Present, are back with another side-splitting picture book that's sure to have kids shouting for repeat read-alouds.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Hilarious and cleverly metatextual, I Don't Want to Read This Book Aloud presents a paradox as its humorous narrative style charms readers despite the narrator's reluctance to engage in reading aloud. The book's dynamic approach and witty discourse have been praised for their engaging delivery and lively contradictions.

About the Author
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 and This Book Is Not a Present. Mike Lowery is an author and New York Times bestselling illustrator who has worked on dozens of books for kids. Some of his favorites are The Gingerbread Man is Lost series by Laura Murray and the Everything Awesome series which he also wrote. He likes to collect weird facts and other bits of knowledge and he draws them every morning in his sketchbook.
