The Don’t Push the Button! series by Bill Cotter started with the original book in 2013, which dares young readers not to press a big red button on the page. Of course, they always do, and things go hilariously wrong for Larry the monster as a result. The interactive format has made the series popular for read-aloud sessions with toddlers and preschoolers.
The series has grown to eight books, with themed entries for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and bedtime. Don’t Touch This Book! (2016) and Don’t Shake the Present! (2019) play with different types of physical interaction. The most recent entry, Don’t Push the Button: On the Farm (2024), takes the concept to a new setting.
