If Your Kids Hate To Read…
Get These Books.

For Parents that feel like reading is a chore at your house…

You’ve bought the books. They sit on the shelf. Your kids still reach for a screen instead, and some small part of you wonders if you did something wrong.

You didn’t. The books were just boring, preachy or uninspired.

Kids don’t hate reading. Kids hate being bored and they can smell a lesson coming a mile away. The secret to making kids select a book over a screen is one thing: Silly. Silliness is the secret.

Today more than ever children’s books need to be silly with a modern sensibility. I’ve been entertaining kids in live shows (yes, they still sit through live performances) for the past 30 years. Attention spans have surely changed but silly still gets kids rolling. The key is knowing how to create the kind of silly kids find funny and put that into a book.

Storyline Online

Bryan Cranston read this one to over a million kids.

Storyline Online is the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s free library, used in classrooms, in hospitals and at home all over the world — and Bryan Cranston sat down and read Professor Nincompoop for it.

It’s been watched over a million times, and on Storyline a single view is usually an entire class — so the number of kids who have heard it is well past a million.

And nobody assigned it to him — the actors pick the book they want to read. Bryan Cranston picked mine. Which is the part I still can’t quite believe.

Then they came back for a second one. On September 8, 2026, International Literacy Day, Adam Brody read Petey Perfectpants.

Two amazing actors. Two books chosen. That’s a rare club to be in.

Here’s how rare. 87 authors have a book in that library. Only 13 of us have two. The other twelve are published by Scholastic, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Macmillan and Chronicle.

I’m the only one publishing my own books.

When I told my wife about this special offer, she asked if I was crazy, or being super nice.

(Honestly, maybe both)

Jimmy Vee

Hi, I’m Jimmy Vee. I’m on a mission to make kids laugh & fall in love with reading! There are books that made a huge impact on me when I was little and I have never forgotten them. I hope my books can have that kind of lasting, positive impact on your children. It’s a privilege to be able to offer these autographed copies of my beautiful books directly to you, and I’m confident your kids will love each and every one of these stories.

Every set that comes through this page, I sign myself — at my kitchen table — with my wife by my side. She does all the order fulfillment, with my daughter’s help. My son is 14 so he’s always in his room.

Magically,

Jimmy Vee

Questions

Are these really signed?

Yes. Jimmy signs every copy himself before it ships — that’s why orders take 2–4 business days to leave. You can add a personal inscription with your child’s name at the next step if you’d like.

What ages are they for?

Roughly 3 to 8. Younger kids love them read aloud; new readers can handle them alone.

How long does shipping take?

2–4 business days to sign and pack, then usually 2–8 business days in the mail. Free, inside the US.

Can I return them?

Within 14 days of delivery, yes. Personalized copies are the exception — they have your child’s name in them, so they can’t be resold.

Do these make a good gift?

They’re built for it. Full-size hardcovers with dust jackets, signed by Jimmy on the title page — and for $12 more he’ll write the child’s name inside, which turns it from a present into a present that was meant for them. Nothing in the box mentions price. If it’s going straight to a birthday, order the personalized set — grandparents tell us it’s the one gift that doesn’t get outgrown.

Are these hardcovers or paperbacks?

Full-size giftable hardcovers with dust jackets — every book in this bundle. No paperbacks, no ebooks.

How well are they actually made?

Smyth-sewn, layflat binding — the pages are sewn in signatures rather than glued, which is how library and heirloom books are made. It means the book opens flat on the floor and stays there while a kid reads it, and the spine doesn’t crack off after a month. It costs more to make. It also means these are still around when the next kid is old enough.
