Endpapers:  Silly words in light gray on white

1st line/s:  "This is a book with no pictures.  It might seem like no fun to have someone read you a book with no pictures.  It probably seems boring and serious.  Except..."

My comments: This books BEGS, BEGS, BEGS to be read aloud!  What a fun, funny book.  Three cheers!

Goodreads:   A book with no pictures? 
     What could be fun about that?
     After all, if a book has no pictures, there's nothing to look at but the words on the page.
     Words that might make you say silly sounds... In ridiculous voices...
     Hey, what kind of book is this, anyway?
     At once disarmingly simple and ingeniously imaginative, The Book With No Pictures inspires laughter every time it is opened, creating a warm and joyous experience to share--and introducing young children to the powerful idea that the written word can be an unending source of mischief and delight.
