About the Book
Board games, much like playtimes, take two or more players to make everything go right. Schoolkids need a helping hand as they move from solo to social play—especially in a screen-oriented world—and McElligott here guides them along. Illustrated in a game board-style layout and written in the imperative style of game instructions, this clever book externalizes kids’ worst playtime impulses in the form of literal monsters. This book requires two or more readers—the more participants, the merrier.—Kirkus Reviews
Learning to play by the rules has never been so much fun! This picture book told through a game board is the perfect read-along for family game nights. And the only words are the rules of the game!
To play this game, you will need a friend–but what if your friend is a monster? With each player’s next turn, the competition is fierce, and the action spills off the game board. Learning how to play well with others–taking turns, playing fair, and being a good loser–has never been so fun or inventive. Win or lose, Do Not Eat the Game! will inspire readers to unplug and enjoy doing something fun together.
