The only rule in Larry's book is that the reader not push the button, but when no one is looking, it may be irresistible.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Larry is a lovable monster (if a bit too curious) and the star of this hilarious, interactive picture book debut.

A USA Today Bestseller! A great read-aloud, interactive book that kids will go back to time and again.

There's only one rule in Larry's book—don't push the button. (Seriously, don't even think about it!) Even if it does look kind of nice, you must never push the button. Who knows what would happen?

Okay, quick. No one is looking... push the button. Uh, oh.

Readers of The Monster at the End of this Book and Press Here by Herve Tullet will love this funny, interactive book for toddlers!
