# Please, Open This Book! - Hardcover

by **Adam Lehrhaupt** (Author), **Matthew Forsythe** (Illustrator)

****Recipient of the Wanda Gag Read Aloud Book Award****

They told you, but you just couldn't listen--so the creators of _Warning: Do Not Open This Book!_ are back with a zany monkey crew, and they need your help!

In _Warning, Do Not Open This Book!_, which _School Library Journal_ called "more fun than a barrel of monkeys," turning pages meant increased chaos and delight. Now the tables have turned, and opening the book is the only way to save the group of monkeys who are trapped between its pages. This irresistibly entertaining rescue effort puts power in the hands of the page-turner, and giggles into everyone!

"These monkeys are a RIOT! And their books are funny, too!" --Ame Dyckman
