Fun story submitted by jennifer-ricks on June 23, 2012, 4:16pm This is a story told in comic strip fashion without any words (or thought/speech bubbles). There is a lot of action to this story.
Fun story.

Interesting Illustrations submitted by KPNF on August 29, 2020, 6:59am My son enjoyed this wordless story, which follows a child hiding from some angry peers by climbing into a Dutch painting and getting into a dangerous situation a few centuries back. Warning: one of the scenes in the book may be disturbing to more sensitive children, especially dog-loving children (a butcher making sausages has many dogs imprisoned and what that implies. We were a bit disturbed.
