A hilarious picture book companion to I Don't Want to Read This Book by actor Max Greenfield.

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) and eye-popping art from New York Times bestselling illustrator Mike Lowery, this ideal read-aloud 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, and I Don't Want to Read This Book Aloud. Follow him on Instagram @iammaxgreenfield.

James Serafino is a children’s book author-illustrator who studied illustration and storytelling at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He currently lives in a daydream fantasy world inhabited by the many characters running around in his head, his family, and an entire small American town. View titles by Max Greenfield
