About The Book

You really shouldn't be opening this book.

I'm serious.

Just put it back on the shelf.

Right... now.

You're still reading this?

Well, don't say I didn't warn you...

It looks like a book, it feels like a book, it even smells like a book, but watch out... madness and mayhem lie within. Debut author Adam Lehrhaupt encourages readers NOT to take a walk on the wild side in this humorous interactive book for little ones. And Eisner Award-winning comic artist and illustrator, Matthew Forsythe's quirky, inventive and engaging illustrations will delight readers of all ages.
