All books want to be read, right?

WRONG!

The Book That Did Not Want To Be Read absolutely does NOT want to be read. Not today, not tomorrow... No chance.

Because if this book is read, all kinds of strange and magical things might happen. Silly things and secret things... Alligators might appear, the book might try to fly away, and before you know it, you'll be having all kinds of unexpected fun. How AWFUL.
