WARNING!

Stop what you’re doing! Don’t you know that this book does NOT want to be read? Not now and not ever.

Because if this book is read all kinds of strange and magical things might happen. Silly things and secret things… Alligators might appear, the book might try to fly away, and before you know it you’ll be having all kinds of unexpected fun. How AWFUL.

Don’t let this book be read. You’re not prepared.

Or are you? (From GoodReads.)
