This is Not a Book, by Jean Jullien
This is, indeed, a book. But it’s so much more than that! It’s a sturdy board book with few words; instead, each time a child turns a page, he finds a new imaginative take on the two-page spread. Emil, who is the most imaginative little guy, loves it.
His favorite page is the laptop computer, which he props open on the couch and pretends to work on. He has even been sleeping with it in his bed, asking me Mama, can I please sleep with my REAL computer tonight? Um… sure. 
The rest of the book is just as clever. Among others, there’s a monster opening his mouth wide, a piano with sheet music, a toolbox, a tightrope walker, a tent with a camper inside meant to be propped up like a real tent (you can stick a little mini flashlight inside for extra fun!), and even a bare bottom which made Milo and Oliver dissolve into a fit of laughter, shouting booty! booty! It doesn’t take much, I guess!
This book is lots of fun for preschoolers with big imaginations. Be sure to check it out if you have a creative little one!
This book reminded me of two of our favorite books – “It’s a Book” by Lane Smith, and “There Are Cats in This Book” by Vivian Schwarz – Emil would love both of those, especially the cat one.
Thanks for sharing this – just ordered two one for my very imaginative 4 year old and her 3 year old cousin’s upcoming birthday!
