This book is from the future. In the future, books are very popular. One of the most popular books in the future is called THE FUTURE BOOK, a silly, innovative picture book from two of today’s best picture book creators to read aloud again and again!You might think you know what the future is like, and what words and phrases we use.

But lots of things are different here in the future. Have you seen the colour BLORANGE? You haven’t? And how is it you say “goodbye” again? It’s not “YOU SMELL LIKE A BABY?” Well . . .

that might seem silly to you, but it’s absolutely normal for us in the future.
