Attention! Défense d'ouvrir ce livre!

The playful tone makes it feel like the book is in on the joke. I wonder if the author was inspired by kids' natural curiosity or something else.

The warning is so exaggerated that it almost makes me want to open the book even more. Was that intentional to spark curiosity in young readers?

The humor is clear to adults, but I wonder how children perceive the message. Does it make them more eager or more cautious?
