Don't Be Naughty? Don't Push The Button-A Christmas Adventure by Bill Cotter

SANTA'S ON HIS WAY. YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP ON THE NAUGHTY LIST, DO YOU?

YOU KNOW LARRY'S RULE.

DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!

Larry, our little ambivalent guide to good advice, can't resist the come-on.

"I DON'T THINK THE ELVES ARE WATCHING..."

And in Bill Cotter's little Christmas confection, his cute little purple gremlin touts the fun to follow by pushing that Christmasy red button.

But even Santa Claus is pleased to have Larry's help in making the Yuletide merry and bright, in Bill Cotter's fun little metafiction tale, Don't Push the Button!

Fans of Cotter's Red Button series, will love this romp through the tropes of the holiday season, right down to hitting the starter BUTTON for Santa's sleigh!

ON THE COUNT OF THREE...

ONE... TWO...

You know what to DO!
