Explodey Time!

What Parents Are Saying
Why just consume when you can CREATE!
Here’s what happened when these families took action:
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is this for?
Will my kid's art really get used?
What if my kid “isn’t an artist” or doesn’t like drawing?
Totally fine. The book includes stories, puzzles, jokes, and “you decide what happens next” pages, not just drawing prompts. Kids who don’t love drawing can still enjoy reading, solving, and storytelling—and might discover they enjoy creating more than they thought.
How long will it keep my kid busy?
Every kid is different, but parents report hours of engagement across multiple sessions—between reading, re-reading, and redoing favorite activities. The 172-page book plus the 30-page printable companion is designed to keep them coming back for months, not just an afternoon.
Is this really screen-free?
The book itself and the printable pages are 100% screen-free activities. You’ll only need a device to download/print the PDF companion and join live online art workshops (or watch the recording). Once you’ve printed pages or cracked open the book, the experience is offline.
What if we can't make the live online art workshop?
No problem. Your subscription includes access to the recording, so your kids can watch and draw along later (or rewatch it as many times as they want).
Can I use this with multiple kids or a small group?
How is the book delivered?
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 5 business days.
What if my kids don't like it?
Can I cancel anytime?
YES! Log in and unsubscribe, or send us an email at Info@Explodeyworld.com
How does the annual plan work?
Here’s how it works: You pay $116 once, and every 2 months for the next year, a new adventure arrives at your door. We only charge shipping when each box actually ships.
