The Book of Rules - by Brian Gehrlein (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

An interactive, fun-filled picture book with dynamic illustrations, in which readers have to follow the rules or risk a run-in with a monster--with a gentle approach to mindfulness along the way.

Beware! This book has rules. You must follow all the rules. If you break the rules . . . Dennis the monster will eat you. And you don't want to be Dennis-food--do you?

With a laugh-out-loud, interactive style, The Book of Rules invites you to get your sillies out before it's time to focus and listen to directions--making it the perfect storytime read-aloud for rambunctious kids in the classroom, at the library, or at home. And you better get started, because Dennis can't wait to eat--or, um--meet you!
