"The Book With No Pictures" by B.J. Novak

For a book with only words (NO pictures!) this read-aloud left me somewhat wordless.  It is hysterically funny.  One can hear the ridiculousness coming off of every page.  At a recent book event, one parent mentioned that her son (older than one might think for this book) has read it over and over and over.  Very easy to see why.  I was tempted to myself.  Others mentioned hearing their kids laughing out loud while sitting and reading it (yes, I did too).  Don't want to go on and on here -- saying too much would ruin it, but you simply have to check this one out and/or read it aloud to a child.  No matter what your skill level, this will be the best read-aloud you've ever done.  And I dare you not to laugh.
