ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 This Book Will Not Be Fun – Funny Children’s Stories Read Aloud by Kids – Read Along
Today, we’re going to read a book that might seem a little different. It’s called “This Book Will Not Be Fun,” written by Sirocco Dunlap and illustrated by Olivier. But don’t worry, it might be more fun than it sounds!
At first, the book seems quiet and a bit boring. But wait, what’s that? A flying whale just appeared! How strange and exciting! But don’t worry, nothing else unusual will happen. Or will it?
Oh no! The flying whale is eating the words in the book! It seems he got lost and ended up here by mistake. And guess what? He brought a friend along!
The whale’s friend is a worm, but not just any worm. This worm glows in the dark and knows kung fu! How cool is that? But maybe it’s a bit too exciting for our quiet book.
Now, the lights have gone out, and we need to follow the worm’s glowing footprints. We’ll go on a twisty, turny adventure, but remember, we’re trying to keep it boring. Let’s hop across the page and see what we find!
Oh wow! We’ve stumbled upon a giant zero-gravity dance party with all sorts of amazing creatures. I didn’t expect this! The music is so catchy, maybe just a little toe-tapping won’t hurt.
Look at that! We’re dancing and having a great time. Who knew this book could be so much fun? Even though it said it wouldn’t be, we ended up having a blast!
So, even if something seems boring at first, you never know what surprises might be waiting. Keep exploring and enjoy the adventure!

Let’s read this book. This book will not be fun.
By Sirocco Dunlap, illustrated by Olivier.
[Music]
This book will not be fun. I’m just going to sit in silence and wait for the book to be over. I don’t know why you’re still here. Even this flying whale is bored.
Wait, did you see that flying whale? How unusual! Well, never mind. I assure you nothing like that will happen again. Absolutely nothing.
[Music]
It appears the flying whale ate my words. He is a word-eating flying whale. According to my encyclopedia of creatures that don’t exist, he must have taken a wrong turn into my book.
Oh, it seems the word-eating flying whale has brought a friend.
[Music]
It is a nice, boring worm. That’s good; I like boring things.
[Music]
Why have the lights suddenly gone out? Ah, it appears the worm is a glow-in-the-dark kung fu worm. I will have to tell him to leave because this is too much excitement.
Where do they go? I suppose we will have to follow the worm’s footprints. We will follow them, but only in a boring way. You will not enjoy going around this loop-the-loop, and we will not have fun as it zigs and zags and crosses around.
And we will definitely not like hopping across this page. Ah, a light switch! I can only hope the walls are taupe.
What is this? No, no, no, no! It’s a giant zero-gravity dance party filled with impossible creatures. I did not sign up for this. I cannot, I will not…
Oh, but I do like this song! It’s got plenty of notes and a fine sturdy rhythm. It can’t hurt to tap just one toe… or two toes… or all my toes.
Look at me! I’m shaking my bottom as it were. It’s quite pleasant. Who knew?
As promised, this book was not fun.
Well, it was not fun for you. I had a great time!

[Applause]
