A cute picture book about the chaos that happens on a farm when you push a button you weren't suppose to push.

My son absolutely loves the Don't Push The Button books by Bill Cotter! Every single one of these is a treat, for kids and adults to read together. My son loves getting involved and interacting with the books, and it is fun for us as parents to see our kids get so excited about books. The illustrations in this book are bright, colorful, and full of humor, making it perfect for little ones who love animals and adventure. Cotter's use of simple language and repetitive text makes it easy for early readers to follow along, while also encouraging interactive participation.

What sets this book apart is its interactive element. At various points throughout the story, readers are encouraged to "push" buttons, "make sounds," or "move" certain characters. This hands-on approach not only engages young readers but also helps develop their fine motor skills and imagination.
One of the standout features of this book is its educational value. Cotter does an excellent job of incorporating farm animals and their sounds, teaching children about the different creatures that live on a farm. The story also promotes problem-solving skills as Rupert learns to think critically about the consequences of his actions.

"Don't Push the Button: On the Farm" by Bill Cotter is a delightful and engaging picture book that will have young readers giggling and eager to explore the farm.!

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. A fun board book for little ones about not pushing the button, farm addition.

The original Don't Push The Button was a lot of fun and had a lot of appeal for young children. What could make it better? As it turns out, the answer is the addition of farm animals. This book combines the fun of button pushing, the humor of chaos, and the appeal of farm animals into a delightful interactive picture book.

I remember when the first don’t push the button came out. I was reading it with my three-year-old nephew on my iPad, so when he pushed the button the page would change and things would magically happen. The push the button books are about the only time I have found this style of book that can live up to Press Here. So I have a bit of nostalgia in my heart for this series. Don’t push the button on the farm was super cute and just as addictive as the original title. I only wish it had gone on longer. Change from a chicken into a cow or into a duck or Into a goose. We could’ve had a few more pages. But this short sweet, very interactive book will be loved by children whether read as a go to bed book or read and story time.

I absolutely love the Don't Push the Button series with Larry! This was another cute adventure where he turns into a chicken and you have to help him turn back into himself. I do wish the book was a bit longer and had a few more animals, but overall it was an adorable story yet again! Can't wait for this to come to our library!!

This is a fun, interactive book that takes place on a farm. The sign says "Don't Open the Gate." Wait, don't push the button again.
I love the interactive books. I think they're so fun to read. Any time I read one with my children, we have an extra fun time.
My 7 year old said she loved it and it was amazing.
My 9 year old said she liked it because she gets to do fun things like shaking the book.
I'd recommend this book to anyone with little kids.

I was excited to read and review this new 'Don't Push the Button' on NetGalley. My kids and I had a fun time seeing Larry on the farm in this book. It was hilarious how he turned into a chicken when he entered the farm and making animal sounds together. I would give this book 3.5-4 stars since it fell short on using the button like previous books in the series. The button only shows up towards the end to get Larry back to normal but it would have been fun to use the button to change him into animals with each press. Overall, it makes a great read aloud with kids and this would be perfect for those farm-loving kids.

Thank you to the author, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am not familiar with the original "Don't Push the Button" book, so did not know what to expect here. Positives were the active participation (clucking like a chicken etc.), negatives were that apart from a chicken, no farm animals were specifically mentioned. I also found the message about ignoring warning signs and rules problematic.

Cute interactive book! Great for kids who love the original. It's not as funny as the original, but I got a few laughs. I also did not find it to be as tactile as the original, but still a fun read, especially for toddler and preschool age. It would be great to use with a farm unit!

What an delight this book is! It's extremely interactive and would do well with a group or with an individual. After sneaking into a local farm,. our protagonist slowly starts becoming a chicken and our dear readers must following some "clucky" directions in order to get him back to normal. Short and sweet, this is a great book for young, high energy kids!

Cute book!! my kids have and love the Easter book like this and really like it. They get a little wild while reading it though lol I couldn't get it to load properly on my Kindle though so it was kind of hard to read

This is a must read for any child who enjoys being silly! My three children were raised on book #1 being in our weekly rotation, the addition of a farm themed one is super cute for young children. Immediately after finishing my child asked to re-read it. I was given a digital ARC copy, but know I’ll be purchasing the physical book soon to add to our book rotation.

I love these books! I read these to my kids when they were growing up. I love this newest book. It is so fun because it makes kids make silly sounds and do silly things. What a fun book!!

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley.
Cotter brings back his main character for a farm visit. Readers get to dance the chicken dance, flap like a chicken, search for the button and then... push the button. All sorts of fun happens when they listen and follow the instructions. A delightful laugh filled story for toddlers and preschoolers. Brightly colored illustrations capture the fun. I love the animal expressions throughout.

This children's book is an interactive book, so as I read it digitally as an advanced reader copy, I was wanting to see how some of the pages were going to be interactive. However, as I read, I found that it will be similar to There's a Monster in Your Book. The interaction has to do witb the reader and the book, rather than the pages within the book.

I honestly feel as if this book could have been done better. The story line is very short, not introducing much of the farm. Since 'on the farm' was included in the title, I was wanting more than just a chicken. I feel that there is much room for improvement on this book, but can see how a child would enjoy it.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another wonderful book from Bill Cotter, inviting 2-5 year olds into the book to join his adventure. A ball of fun, sure to become a favourite with preschoolers.

My toddler and I LOVED this book!! It is cute, engaging, silly and fun! My son had fun making animal noises and following the directions in the book! Would make a great gift or addition to your child's little library

super cute. would be an amazing book for story time with some littles for a farm-tastic book.
A little short, but still overall a fun time as all the other don't push the button books are :)

This is a style of book that is an automatic purchase for our library. During storytime we generally have a concept or longer picture book, often bilingual, then an interactive or shorter picture book, followed by a singing book (with songs, fingerplays, rhymes, etc, in between). This book is a strong fit for being the second book shared. There are moments when children/readers are asked to cluck like a chicken, do a chicken dance, and flap your wings.

Reading aloud the phrase "what the dickens", even if it does rhyme with chicken is a bit odd though.
