# This Book Is Not a Present - Hardcover

by **Max Greenfield** (Author), **Mike Lowery** (Illustrator)

**A hilarious picture book companion to _I Don't Want to Read This Book_ by actor Max Greenfield.**

We all know kids who carry a book everywhere they go. Kids who can't stop reading, even if it's long after bedtime. Kids who love nothing more than sitting quietly in the corner, turning page after page...

This book is a love letter to all the _other_ kids. The ones who wouldn't dream of asking for a book as a present. The ones who unwrap the box hoping to find anything--a dog, a skateboard, even socks--besides a book.

Packed with clever, fourth-wall-breaking gags from Max Greenfield (_New Girl_) and eye-popping art from _New York Times_ bestselling illustrator Mike Lowery, this ideal read-aloud may not wag its tail or come with wheels, but it's sure to have even the most reluctant bibliophiles laughing all the way to the end.

### Author Biography

Max Greenfield is a New York-born actor who is best known for being interrupted by his two beautiful children, Lilly and Ozzie, as he writes this bio. Max tries to tell them that this is important and to please leave him alone, but neither child believes this, as they are certain that Mommy is the one with more important things to do and Daddy just acts silly on TV sometimes. He is the author of _I Don't Want to Read This Book_. Follow him on Instagram @iammaxgreenfield.

Some of his favoirites are _The Gingerbread Man is Lost_ series by Laura Murray and the _Everything Awesome_ series which he also wrote.
