Way to ruin a picture book with “dammit”. Glad I didn’t buy the hardcover for my school library, the paperback is going in the donate pile. I love these types of books that interact with the kids but even a mild swear is not ok for the elementary set.

Se for o primeiro que lemos do autor vamos ficar surpreendentemente agradados. Mas para quem, como eu, leu o primeiro livro, esta obra acaba por ser mais do mesmo. É bom mas queria que o autor tivesse experimentado uma fórmula diferente desta vez.

For those who, like me, read the first book, this one ends up being more of the same.

This book was such a fun book to read! This book is about a character named Wizz who does not want the reader to keep turning the page and reading the words. The farther you read, the more tired he gets and he does not want to fall asleep. The illustrations are great and the way the words are laid out are very engaging for kids. I read this book to my students to show the importance of punctuation. This book has lots of different punctuation and fun ways to lay out words. I also used this book to show how it's important to read with expression. You can read this book in such a fun and engaging way and I wanted to show them that. Overall, this book is great and kids love it. I want to include this in my classroom library one day!

As we all know, children LOVE to do what they are told NOT to do. In this second installment of Andy Lee's Do Not Open This Book series, the MC in the story tells the reader not to turn the pages of the book. With every page turned, the MC gets more and more sleepy. He tries music, coffee, bright lights, an even an ice bath to stay awake, to no avail. By the end of the book, the MC is fast asleep. Teaching points: extreme measures, bedtime, just for fun Grade Level: K-2 Location: LES library Related reads:

Read this with Mister. He liked it almost as much as he liked the first one. He kept on begging to read it "again." He didn't understand all of the staying awake concepts (drinking endless coffee and the brass band), but he giggled at the icy bath and the frozen rubber ducky. These sort of books make him rather nervous, all in all, and he urges ME to turn the pages as he is worried that the Monster will get mad at him for doing so. I had to keep coaching him, "How about I turn just one more page and we see what happens?"

This is like the trashy modern version of Theres A Monster At The End Of This Book. It includes one or two words which might be considered swear words, so if you'd rather your kid didn't swear, or they're at the age where they can kind-of read and want to read it with you, maybe give this one a miss.

There is not need to have ANY cuss words in a children's book whatsoever, especially when there's so many other words that aren't bad that can get the same point across. Goes to show them intelligence (or lack thereof) of the author. Im thoroughly disappointed that I had to burn this book. Would have been a good book otherwise. Way to ruin it!

I was exhausted when I read this to my niece and had just woken up from a nap, so it was a perfect fit. I was able to get some genuine yawns in without actually pausing to do so because there were yawns written in. And my niece always loves doing what she's been told not to do, so it was a win-win.

This reminded me of a classic sesame street story from my childhood that I adored, "the monster at the end of this book." My kids love that one, so I figured they'd love this one too, and they did. Funny illustrations, chances for them to play along and interact with the book, and overall a good time.

Do not open this book! Unless you're ready for bedtime. This is a great book to have on the night stand to put your kid to sleep. I thought it was adorable and now I'm looking for a rugrat to read it to.

This is a silly book where an alien warns the reader not to read this book. Each page gets more and more frantic and dramatic. Kids will love seeing what happens when you DO turn the page and keep reading. HIlarious illustrations. Kids will laugh out loud. Highly recommended for Grades k-2.

I mush prefer the first one, but I can see people liking this book too. It just wasn't my cup of tea. The concept is clever though and the ending is quite brilliant. The illustrations are the same as the first book, but I feel like more stuff is going around in them than in the first book.

انا حابب السلسلة دي قوي بجد.. دمها خفيف جدا.. هي عن كائن عايش في كتاب وكل اللي بيطلبه منك أنك متقلبش الصفحة
وفي كل مرة بتقلب الصفحة بيتصعب أكتر أو بيحصله حاجة.. بيحاول في كل مرة انه يقنعك أنك متقلبش الصفحة
كتاب مسلي ولطيف خالص

Te Suplico… Por Favor no Abrir Este Libro
Lo acabo de leer 🤭
Me encantó
Es de estos libros infantiles super dinámicos.
Pero también soy demasiado blanda con los libros que generan interacción con el lector.
Eso si, confirmo que amo los libros infantiles

January 2, 2021Wizz is going to convince you this time: do not open this book! And if you do...don't turn any more pages! If you do, both you and Wizz will just be getting closer and closer to sleep.

I'm very concerned with the likelihood of children trying to duplicate the toothpicks in the eye part... Not my favorite in the world of interactive picture books.

Excellent fun for the kids!! I loved the look of intrigue on my niece’s face as we excitedly decided to keep turning the pages. Fun, right from the first page.
