Do Not Open This Book

By Michaela Muntean

Book Overview

In the spirit of the bestselling classics DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! and THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK comes a riotously funny, interactive picture book from a hot new team.

"Excuse me, but who do you think you are, opening this book when the cover clearly says, DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOK? The reason you weren't supposed to open this book is because it is not yet written!...You think it's easy to put words together? Hah! Now go away--I need time to think."So begins Pig's valiant attempt to pen his masterpiece. But he is constantly interrupted by the reader who is seduced at every turn into foiling his efforts ("please go away" "please do not turn the page")--until at last we reach the final page & discover that together, Pig & the reader have indeed created a book.

Customer Reviews

LOVE THIS BOOK!

My 5 and 4 year olds have been reading this book for a few years and absolutely LOVE it. They scream laughing each time we hunt to track it down at the library. It is a great read aloud book to a group of kids and is silly and fun. We finally are planning to get our own copy for the holiday since we get tired of renewing it or trying to find it at our library.

I bought this book for my 6 year old grand daughter. I had her 3 yr old sister help wrap the book. She LOVED the book and wanted to have me keep reading and reading the story. She had belly laughs. Her sister also had belly laughs when she opened the book. Sure to be a favorite.

Great Book!

I bought this book as a gift for my 3 year old son's birthday. He absolutely loves it and asks me to read it to him often. My 6 year old son also gets a kick out of it. They think the book is hysterical and it's become a favorite quickly.

Loads of Fun

My first grader just giggles at this book. The drawings are wonderful and we have read it over and over. I know I will return to this book when my son begins to write longer stories at school. It truly portrays the fun of words as well as the great care that it takes to put them together.

Book Review

Do Not Open This Book is delightful. The narrative and the illustrations work very well together. I especially liked the idea of an interactive book that deals with the problems of writing. Children will thoroughly enjoy this book.
