DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOK
Andy Lee, Illustrated by Heath
McKenziePublished by Upstart Press, RRP $ 24.99
A delightfully humorous and
engaging read for children, written by Andy Lee of the hilarious comedy duo act
Hamish & Andy
Do Not Open This Book was only
ever meant to have one copy printed. Andy wrote it as a surprise for his sister
and her husband to celebrate the 1st birthday of their son, George.
The story begins with the
character surprised that, despite the name of the book, the reader has opened
the cover. He asks the reader not to turn the next page. As the book goes on,
the character becomes more and more desperate, begging, pleading, threatening
and sulking, before he finally reveals that if the reader reaches the final
page, something terrible will happen!
