If you ever feel like doing nothing, then I’ve got the perfect book for you. It’s called How to Do Nothing With Nobody All Alone By Yourself, by Robert Paul Smith. It’s a wonderfully insightful and delightfully whimsical book that’s designed to teach kids the vital skill of figuring out what to do when there’s nothing to do.
I had the pleasure of narrating this book for Iambik Audiobooks and Tin House Books, and it’s available now on the Iambik web site. Pop on over and take a listen to the sample chapter! Along with the audio files, you’ll receive a PDF file containing all of the wonderful illustrations included in the original print version, and they’re referenced throughout the course of the narration. Even without the illustrations, though, you could probably figure out how to build the many things that Smith describes thanks to the great details that he included in the original text. I had a lot of fun reading this book, and hope that you enjoy listening to it.
