Don't Make Me Laugh

(4) K-3 Tyrannical Mr. Frimdimpny polices the pages of this book, where he also makes up the rules. No laughing, no smiling, and no disobedience are allowed. If readers break a rule (a very tempting proposition), they must return to page one and start over. Although a bit unfocused, the premise is fun and Stevenson's loose watercolor illustrations convey much of the humor.
