Synopsis:

A Literary Tour Like No Other… But Seriously–Don’t Lift the Flap!Step into a cozy old library where a wise, bespectacled owl offers a “tour” of the world’s most beloved stories. The shelves are full of classics, the covers are iconic–and the message is simple: Don’t. Open. The. Book. (What could possibly go wrong?)In this hilarious board book with oversized flaps, readers discover familiar stories–Moby-Dick, Treasure Island, and more–but behind each flap lies utter pandemonium! Little ones will giggle as literary chaos unfolds in unexpected and delightfully silly ways.

Review:

This board book shows the covers of many classic novels, and the reader is told not to open them because lots of things will fall out. The book covers are flaps that show what happens in these classic stories. The stories are Treasure Island, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, and The Lost World. I like that this board book will introduce young readers to these classic novels and make them interested in reading them!

Don’t Open This Book is a great board book!

Thank you Taffy Tales for providing a copy of this book as part of a sponsored campaign!
