What Could Happen? Don't Push the Button! Christmas Adventure by Bill Cotter

LIKE WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH A BUTTON?

Larry, the purple guy with little blue horns and the big portable red button is back, about to take a trip down YOUR chimney! Beware!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You know Larry's rule...

DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!

S. Claus wouldn't add you to his naughty list just for pushing that pretty red button, would he? Maybe just one entsy weentsy little push while the elf on the shelf isn't looking....?

OOPS! Now I'm...

GREEN--LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE!

Maybe another little push will reverse the effect?

But no. Now Larry's a tree all decorated with lights. Can we reverse the magic with two pushes?

Guess again, Candy Kane! At least red and white look good on him. Larry suggests shaking the book--resulting in a snow storm.

Where's Rudolph when we need him? Try pressing the button super hard, this time, Larry suggests.

Bingo!

There only one thing left to do to get this Christmas show on the road, and Santa Claus appears with one big request that's going to require that all the readers get on board with Larry's plan. He needs everyone to help St. Nick crank his sleigh. All it takes is, on the count of three, one big ...PUSH!

In Bill Cotter's latest Larry tale, Don't Push the Button! A Christmas Adventure (Sourcebooks, 2017), the red button provides the Christmas magic in this new interactive book which encourages youngsters to enable all the beloved Christmas things--from bright Christmas trees to candy canes, Santa's sleigh to Rudolph--to appear. A companion book to Cotter's hit book, Don't Push the Button! this new one is another interactive board book that plays with the icons of the season and the concept of the book as toy. This one works as both a story circle read-aloud and as a great stocking stuffer for a toddler or preschooler.
