This was fun and cute, but reminded me a little too much of The Book With No Pictures, coincidentally also written by an actor. I think it works well as a read-aloud, but not so much for kids reading on their own (some words that young readers definitely won't understand, and not enough pictures to hold the attention of a solo reader).

I also thought by the end the narrator would have changed their opinion and liked reading, but they still seemed to be just as blah about it as they were at the beginning, which doesn't seem to send the best message for a book that's supposed to target reluctant readers.
