The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak is an uproarious, interactive children's book that operates on one strict rule: the reader must say everything written on the page.

Everyone in Mr. Tiffin's class couldn't be more excited that the new school library has finally opened. Everyone except Jake. Jake is a slow and careful reader. Sometimes he reads the same page more than once to figure everything out. And he often feels left behind on class Library Day. All that changes when Librarian Beck notices Jake running his fingers across the grooves of a brand-new bookshelf and offers him an old, worn book: Woodworking for Young Hands. Jake checks the book out, studies the pictures and instructions, and renews the book again and again. When the school year comes to an end, Jake has the perfect gift idea for the librarian who changed his life--and he makes it with his own two hands.
Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a classic Dr. Seuss book, first published in 1990, that serves as an inspirational graduation speech in verse, celebrating life's potential while acknowledging its challenges, from high heights to "bang-ups and hang-ups".
