This is NOT a Book! cover

In this fun-filled, action-packed picture book, our main character is quite convinced they’re not in a book. After all, if this was a book, there’d be pages to turn … Oops! We’ve just turned the page.

But that’s not conclusive proof this is a book. If it was a book, there’d be interesting settings and problems to solve. Hold on! Why is our lead character being chased by a lion? Why are pirates stealing treasure? And are those mermaids playing in a rock band?

This is NOT a Book! is the perfect introduction for kids to how a book is structured and how to tell a good story. It’s metafiction made fun!

Marvellously entertaining This is NOT a Book! from Kellie Byrnes ...  teaches about book construction while telling a totally hilarious tale of denial filled with fun. * Blue Wolf Reviews *
This is metafiction at its best. It takes a reader inside the book to discover how a good story is told. * Buzz Words *
A page-turner, even if the lead character tries to deny the very existence of its pages. * Eastern Reporter *
This is NOT a Book! is a fun picture book that breaks the fourth wall. It’s a light-hearted and action-packed meta-fictive story about a character who is VERY sure they’re NOT a character, and certainly NOT in a book. * Kellie Byrnes on the Booktopia Blog *
This is a brilliant look at what makes a story and would be a great book for classrooms to read. * Kids’ Book Review *
A fun and clever way to show the building blocks of a story. This is a book that denies it’s a book, which is actually a book that tells you how to write a book! Loved it! * What Book Next? *
A novel way to help children turn their ideas into written stories. * The Bottom Shelf - Blogger *
This is NOT a Book! is a fabulous, fun example of metafiction, it takes us into the story to discover what elements make up a really good and compelling story. * Story Snug *
