Your Kids Need to Get Lost
(In This Book We Made)
This book is like a paper playground. It’s big, thick, and colorful, with 172+ pages of comics, stories, characters, and activities. Some comics are left unfinished on purpose, so your kid gets to write the dialogue, color the scene, or draw what happens next.
Let them draw in it. Let them write in it. Let them wreck it a little. That’s the point.
For the kid who loves to shout “Look what I made!”

While you’re on your screen all day reading the Bee, we made something that will at least get your kids off theirs.
This Book Might Explode comes from Ethan Nicolle and Eric Branscum, the former creative director and lead script writer of The Babylon Bee. Before that, they were the head writers on VeggieTales in the House at DreamWorks. You know their work. This book is unlike anything they’ve made before, and it’s just as funny. They brought friends, too.

What Parents Are Saying
Why just consume when you can CREATE!
Screen Time Victory
“Finally, something that beats the iPad”
My son just chose your book over his iPad. What kind of sorcery is this?! Needless to say we are very satisfied customers.
OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!
“… my kid wanted to send this to you”
Okay so my dad got me This Book Might Explode and I literally could NOT put it down!! It has SO much stuff in it; comics, stories, puzzles, jokes, AND you get to decide what happens next which is SO COOL because I made the hero a girl who has a pet dragon!
The jokes made me laugh so hard that water almost came out of my nose (almost). And the activities are actually fun, not like boring school stuff. I did like five pages in one afternoon and then my dad had to tell me to go to bed.
My little sister tried to steal it but I said NO because it’s MINE but then my mom said we could share and I said FINE but I get it first always.
If you do not have this book you need to get it RIGHT NOW. I’m not joking. Best book.
Sibling Bonding
“I loved seeing my kids talking and laughing together over the pages.“
My kids love This Book Might Explode. I loved seeing my kids talking and laughing together over the pages. I expect they themselves might explode with excitement and anticipation when the next volume comes in the mail.
I love that the crafting pages include a QR code linking to an online printable. This way the kids don’t have to damage the book and there’s no fighting over who gets to do which craft. Even the three year old got in on the crafting action, cutting out the customizable snowman, which included funny and whimsical accessories like a pirate’s hook and a handlebar mustache in addition to the typical top hat and carrot nose.
And Volume 2 is going to be just as good as Volume 1! We got a sneak peek and read aloud a page with made-up words and definitions. My husband laughed until he cried–more than once!
It has had such an impact that the word ‘violphan’ has started to creep into our family vocabulary. Get your kids This Book Might Explode. They’ll love it, and you just might find yourself laughing along.
Reluctant Reader Win
“They’re reading voluntarily now. Voluntarily!”
This book is a fun, silly mix of comic and activities that keeps my kids laughing and engaged. I love that it gets them reading while also interacting with the pages. Perfect for kids who enjoy goofy humor and hands-on fun!
Quality Time Recovery
“Doesn’t put it down”
My 10-year-old son and I were reading a popular book series about a wizard school when we received the first issue of This Book Might Explode. He enjoyed it so much, he doesn’t want to pick up any other books at bedtime. He loves the sense of humor and is a big fan of the illustrations. A favorite is obviously Corn Doug. He also likes the various fill-in-the-blanks and activities scattered throughout the book. We’re looking forward to the next release!
