How can you have a book about nothing? And furthermore, how can nothing be so funny? This book is here to prove you can have a book about nothing, and nothing can be hilarious! This humorous book uses puns and plays on words to make a point about how nothing is a daily part of our lives and routines. Elementary school-age children will get a kick out of it.
What a great hilarious book to get the giggles going. This book will get your reluctant reader's interest piqued. The ideas of what nothing are pretty hilarious. This one will get parents going too, as the book contemplates what would be left on the floor if it was picked up, or what would be on your plate if you ate everything. This book could even tie into the concept of zero, a hilarious tie in to math.
Even nothing is something, Read this book and you will learn about nothing.
This title is recommended as a read aloud for ages 3 through Kindergarten. The humorous illustrations and text invite interaction. The use of words like poop and underwear will have the children laughing and entertained. The discussion that nothing can be something also extends the story.

The concept of this book is awesome! This book teaches that even nothing is something. I think this is important for kids to learn because too often kids cannot simply sit and relax and do "nothing." I enjoyed reading this book, and I know it would be great to read to the children whom I nanny.
Even nothing is something.
