Uzun zamandır beklediğim "This Book Has No Pictures" sonunda Epsilon Yayınevi tarafından Türkçe´ye çevrildi yaşasııııın !
B.J.Novak´ın bu çok ünlü kitabı, adı üzerinde içinde hiç ama hiç resim olmayan sadece yazılardan oluşan bir kitap. Okul öncesi çocukların kahkahalarla eğlenecekleri, sizin tüm teatral yeteneklerinizi ortaya çıkaracak kadar da iddialı. Kitabı Masal üzerinde test etmeden yazmak istememiştim ama bugün okuduk ve Masal çok çok beğendi ve eğlendi. Baştan bu nasıl kitap falan diye mırın kırın ettiyse de okudukça meraklandı, güldü ve şaşırdı.. Tabii kitaba mı yoksa okurken benim halime mi güldü orası biraz muallak 4 yaş ve üzerine çooook tavsiye ediyoruz.
