    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.
    Max Greenfield is a New York–born actor who is best known for his roles as Schmidt in New Girl and Dave Johnson in The Neighborhood. He is the author of I Don't Want to Read This Book, This Book is Not a Present, I Don't Want to Read This Book Aloud, and Good Night Thoughts. Follow him on Instagram @iammaxgreenfield.

    Mika Song makes children's books about sweetly funny outsiders. Henry, Like Always by Jenn Bailey and illustrated by Mika received the Schneider Family Award and a Geisel Honor from the American Library Association. Her graphic novel for early readers Donut Feed the Squirrels was nominated for an Eisner award. View titles by Max Greenfield

    “With cartoon-like graphics and bold typography, this book will get a laugh out of reluctant readers!” —Brightly
