The Future Book

This book is from the future. In the future, books are very popular. One of the most popular books in the future is called THE FUTURE BOOK, a silly, innovative picture book from two of today’s best picture book creators to read aloud again and again!

You might think you know what the future is like, and what words and phrases we use. But lots of things are different here in the future.

Have you seen the color BLORANGE? You haven’t? And how is it you say ‘goodbye’ again? It’s not ‘YOU SMELL LIKE A BABY?’ Well ... that might seem goofy to you, but it’s absolutely normal for us in the future.

We invite you to turn the pages of this book to discover what else has changed in the future, and to see just how certain word combinations lead to a silly narrative that will have you rolling in the aisles of the BOLLY BOLLY HOO HOO.
