There's only one rule in Larry's book: don't push the button.

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.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2025I never do reviews.. but this is a special thing. Almost return this book, because the picture of Larry is not christian. However, my son found the book before returning it.
We have so much fun with this book. Is very silly and fanny.
As I said my only thing is the picture i do not agree with that. But other than that is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A favourite read aloud!
Don't Push the Button! is a must-have for any child’s bookshelf. It’s the kind of book that kids will want to read again and again, making it a fantastic choice for storytime at home, in classrooms, or libraries. I bought this book for my classroom and students absolutely love it and want to read it over and over again. You can make it interactive and get kids moving while you read. We also had students creating buttons with blocks and retelling the storey! Highly recommended for ages 3–6.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, funny book.
My nearly 3 year old boy loves this book so much. He laughs and laughs while we are reading it together. You can be really silly while reading it to them and have a really lovely time with your child. 100% recommend, especially for children who may be reluctant to sit for stories!
