Read This Book If You Don't Want a Story by Richard Phillips
Mr Book With No Story wants his pages uncluttered by pictures and plot lines but images, questions and ideas keep invading the unruly pages, ignoring his efforts to chase them away. It turns out that Mr Book’s fear is having nothing to say but in this fun tribute to the creative process, he needn’t have worried.
"The fourth wall comes tumbling down in a laugh-out-loud tale about a book that doesn’t want to tell a storyBut his pages have other ideas so they band together and persuade him that everyone has something worthwhile to say. Eric Zelz’s pictures of the grumpy book (complete with elaborate moustache and a sombrero) are a hoot." -- Books of the Year 2019 - Mail on Sunday
Richard B. Phillips wrote the screenplays for the award-winning feature film Eden (2014, starring Beau Bridges) and the horror film Buckout Road (2017, starring Danny Glover). He has also written the animation series for the Korean comic book hero Kimchi Warrior and cultural programs for PBS. His six-year-old daughter challenged him to write a book about a book, and Read This Book If You Don’t Want a Story is the result. Eric Zelz is a designer, illustrator, and educator whose work has been recognized by organizations including the Society of Environmental Journalists and the Society of News Design. His illustrations for three Tilbury House picture books (Pass the Pandowdy, Please; Read This Book If You Don’t Want a Story; and My Monster Moofy) have received awards and starred reviews.
