Bookroo's summary

In a world where rules are everything, breaking them means facing Dennis, a monster with a big appetite. This interactive tale challenges readers to sit crisscross-applesauce, make fish faces, and practice mindfulness to avoid becoming Dennis-food. Will you follow the rules or risk a monstrous encounter? Dive into this laugh-out-loud adventure and see if you can outsmart Dennis before it's too late!

From the publisher

An interactive picture book with dynamic illustrations, in which readers have to follow the rules or risk a run-in with a monster–with a gentle approach to mindfulness along the way. Beware! This book has rules. You must follow all the rules. If you break the rules . . . Dennis the monster will eat you. And you don’t want to be Dennis-food–do you? With a laugh-out-loud, interactive style, The Book of Rules invites you to get your sillies out before it’s time to focus and listen to directions. And you better get started, because Dennis can’t wait to eat–or, um–meet you!
