Great message of the dangers of jumping on the bed and the safety of playing on the floor instead. Interactive story, colorful illustrations and a wonderful story to read aloud.

I love Bill Cotter and his interactive, monster book series. This is another great installment! I can't wait to read this in Storytime. Don't push the button is always a favorite and I have a feeling this one will be too.

This was very cute! So my copy was an advanced readers r copy on Kindle and the pictures were not as good as they will be when the book is published, I read it today with some very young children and they giggled and laughed. We had a really good time with it!. I will definitely want a copy of this for my classroom when it comes out! Many thanks to net galley in the publisher for a digital copy to download for review. I highly recommend it

Our household loves Bill Cotter books and this adaptation of Jumping on the Bed did not disappoint. The monster illustrations and doctor's reactions each time were wonderful. The interactive pieces of the story were perfect for keeping little readers engaged. It was a definite win in our home!

This book takes the classic children's rhyme "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" and gives it the Don't Push the Button! treatment.

Larry is watching the kids, and they're jumping on the bed. Inevitably, they fall off one by one and bump their heads. The reader is invited to perform an action on each monster to help them feel better.

This is a silly rhyme, really, and it says more about the permissive parent than it does about the rambunctious children. This is kind of addressed in the illustrations, since each time Larry calls the doctor and she tells him not to let the monsters jump on the bed anymore, she's looking more and more annoyed. (Seriously, Larry! No more monsters jumping on the bed!) The book ends with a predictable but logical conclusion. And, despite all the potential concussions, nobody seems worse for wear.

The interactive part of this book feels a bit gimmicky to me. That said, fans of Don't Push the Button! will probably enjoy this book.

I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy this book. It was a little lacking for me. I'm a music teacher, so one of the important parts of this rhyme is the rhythm of the chant. This book interrupted that rhythm with the added words at the end of each verse. Also, I did not find the illustrations that engaging. This seemed to me more like a straight to kindle book to me.

A fun, short interactive book with a silly storyline that will make young ones giggle at the funny monsters.

I expected this to be a lot more interactive than it was. I love "Don't Push the Button," and expected more of the same.
