Book Description
WARNING!
Stop what you’re doing! Don’t you know that this book does NOT want to be read? Not now and not ever.
Because if this book is read all kinds of strange and magical things might happen. Silly things and secret things… Alligators might appear, the book might try to fly away, and before you know it you’ll be having all kinds of unexpected fun. How AWFUL.
Don’t let this book be read. You’re not prepared.
Or are you?
What We Thought
Not your usual picture book – you have been warned! The Book That Did Not Want To Be Read is some kind of masterpiece! It will throw you in many different directions, it will leave you confused, and you will think, what did I just read? That’s if you can read it!
It’s designed to be difficult to read, kids will be hooting with laughter as you try to read it and follow the story. I’m not quite sure what the book was about, although there was a cute rabbit in at some point and an olligotor!
The illustrations are fantastically weird, and as I previously mentioned it’s genius! Anyone of any age will love it!
The book cover is green with gold writing, which makes it look like a classic that most people may pass by- now don’t go judging a book by it’s cover! It’s whimsically charming in an unusual way and will change the bedtime story!
