Description
Wizz and Nessie have a dance performance to do, only one of them isn't feeling quite so confident... Can you help Wizz face his fears? (Just ignore him when he tells you not to turn the page!) Kids love reading about Wizz's adventures, the world over!
Andy Lee and Heath McKenzie are back with their highly anticipated ninth book, Pretty Please Do Not Open This Book. Whether 'pretty please' is a polite request or a desperate plea is for you to decide!
This time, Wizz is reunited with his delightful friend Nessie, in some more highly relatable and hilarious situations. Anyone who occasionally (or not so occasionally) is nervous or unsure of themselves will delight in Wizz's escapades.
Trying new things and letting go of fears about being good enough are important lessons, and who could be better to teach a spoonful of confidence than Andy Lee?
WORLD-WIDE APPEAL: The Do Not Open This Book series has been translated into 35 languages and sold over two million copies around the world.
ENTERTAINING & INTERACTIVE: Kids love the way Wizz speaks directly to them in the story! Turning the page always has a consequence; what will it be this time?
THEMES OF SELF-CONFIDENCE: The story will resonate with children of all ages, as Wizz faces his fear of performing in front of an audience.
HILARITY ENSUES: Kids and adults alike will delight in reading these books over and over again, despite Wizz's best efforts!
