About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is joyfully testing boundaries and exploring the power of the word 'no'. This book provides a safe and hilarious space to explore that impulse. The reader is introduced to Larry, a friendly monster who has just one rule: don't push the button! Of course, the temptation is too great, and each push leads to silly, harmless consequences for Larry, turning him spotty, then multiplying him. The child then gets to help fix the mess, making them an active participant in the story. This book is a masterclass in interactive fun, directly engaging a child's natural curiosity and delight in controlled chaos. It’s perfect for ages 2 to 5, turning a lesson on cause and effect into a giggly game. It’s a wonderful choice for a high-energy read-aloud that validates a child's desire for independence while keeping the stakes light and fun.
