We’re Not Gonna Take It

You know the song; now We’re Not Gonna Take It is a hilarious book following three toddlers trying to outwit their parents who are attempting to have some adult conversation during a play date. From trying to steal cookies, to sneaking outside, to climbing out of their crib, these kids aren’t wanting to do anything their parents say. Will the toddlers win or be outwitted by their parents who aren’t going to take it anymore?

I love the song, and I really loved the way that the illustrator took the words and made it into a hilarious book that parents and kids will enjoy. Each delightful page shows what trouble the kids will get into next. It’s a battle to see who is going to get their way. I loved seeing the things the kids get into because I remember my kids doing similar things when they were little too. My six-year-old and three-year-old have asked to read this book no less than five times since we read it a few days ago. It’s hilarious and fun because you can sing it. The repetition of the song had my kids singing right along with me. My three-year-old loved the words to the song; she thought it was hilarious that they dumped their food and went for the cookies. My six-year-old loved that the kids were mowing the lawn outside because they weren’t supposed to, and he loves to sing the song over and over again.
