About this listen

 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.

Fantastic! We couldn’t stop laughing when you said ‘chapter 2’. Max is so funny. Can’t wait to read the others in this series :)

Brilliantly read
