One book. A whole rescue.

Please, Open This Book!

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Matthew Forsythe

Someone closed this book—with the monkeys and their friends still inside! Now they need your help. Open it, and you’re the hero. But every page brings you closer to the end, and the animals will try just about anything to keep you reading. Adam Lehrhaupt and Matthew Forsythe turn the tables on Warning: Do Not Open This Book! with a funny, frantic rescue that puts the reader in charge. The adventure starts the moment you lift the cover.
