When our young hero settles in to read, the last thing he wants is for some noisy animals to ruin the ending of the story.
But ruin it they do. 
And as it turns out, the boy is quickly approaching a surprise ending of his own! Maybe he should have listened to the animals after all. . . . This silly, timeless picturebook with a clever meta twist introduces debut author Minh L 's witty text and Isabel Roxas's eye-catching illustrations.

We picked this book out from the library because it is one of the Sunshine State Young Readers books for 2017-2018 school year. I think Let Me Finish! is a fun and very entertaining story. It seems like Spoilers are a big part of the entertainment world these days. It is easy to get spoiled for books, movies and TV shows. I have heard my two girls talk about not trying not to spoil things for their dad when we watch Disney movies we've already seen, but he hasn't. So it is pretty easy to relate to the main character in Let Me Finish!. 
This story is about a young boy that just wants to finish reading his books without being told what is going to happen. But every place he goes to read, there is an animal ready to tell him what happens at the end of the book.
Let Me Finish! is laugh out loud funny. My 6 year old couldn't stop laughing. It kept our attention to the very end. This book had an unique twist ending that we didn't see coming. I'm very glad that we read this book, in fact I read it with my 6 year old a few times before we turned it back in to the library. I definitely recommend checking this one out!
