But I am excited about the prospect of candy, though Mommy says I can’t have any. I wonder if there will be scary houses at Boo at the Zoo, like in the book? Is being scared like when I have a nightmare? If so, I don’t like it. I’m going to Boo at the Zoo as Phantom from Phantom of the Opera, my favorite musical. In the last picture, it shows a bunch of monsters, one of them dressed like an alligator, so I’m guessing these are monsters and not kids, but I could be wrong. Or is it a child dressed as a monster? I’m a little confused by this Halloween thing. In Don’t Push the Button! A Halloween Treat, a monster goes trick-or-treating at this spooky house. Mommy read this to me three times! First at the library, and then two more times at home. Baby Librarian Marian and her mommy Margaret review the spookily interactive board book Don’t Push the Button! A Halloween Treat by Bill Cotter.īaby Librarian Marian reviews Don’t Push the Button! A Halloween Treat

DON T PUSH THE BUTTON BOOK FULL
I am an Amazon associate, which means that clicking on the image of a book I reviewed or on the title of any book mentioned in the review will take you to full publishing and purchasing information, as well as other reviews and comments for most books. Loving both kids and books equally as I do, perhaps helping children and the adults who care about them find good books through this blog is the next best thing to being there. Retired after 32+ years as an elementary librarian, I really miss the joy of bringing together the right book with the right reader at the right time. Labels: Imagination-Fiction, Monster Stories (Grades Preschool-1) For a slightly more sophisticated exposition of this same concept, pair this one with Herve Tullet's clever best-seller, Press Here. The illustrations are super simple, the wry text is easily accessible to beginning readers, and kids are bound to be drawn into the concept of the faux-interactive book, a new genre in the picture book world. What kid can resist pushing any button, especially if he or she is exhorted not to EVEN think about touching it? In a variation of the old "beans up the nose" tale, author/illustrator Cotter gives us a tempting takeoff on the instruction manual, narrated by a personable, if somewhat conflicted, little monster. What do we do next? Well, there are more directions ( hint: try shaking this book) ahead in Bill Cotter's fun and funny fantasy workout, Don't Push the Button! (Sourcebooks/Jabberwocky, 2013).
And on the right some smart alek has sarcastically commented on the obvious:
Another push? Double the Larries! Double the fun?Īnother push produces a mob of Larries in a rainbow of colors!īetter turn the page. He's okay with that, but maybe another push would return him to his purple shape. How bad can it be?Īnd besides, as Larry whispers, Nobody is even watching you! I mean, what good IS a button if you don't push it. It is set in a nice wooden frame, and it's bright red and shiny. If you open it, DON'T touch the big red button.īut who cares what a purple monster says.Īnd besides, he's not even sure about the rule himself. This is Larry's book, and he has just one rule. Larry is a purple monster with blue horns.
