This picture book of Dee Snider's classic song of empowerment and self-determination will strike a chord with kids everywhere.

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

We're Not Gonna Take It is a playful picture book echoing 1980s hair band Twisted Sister's most popular antiestablishment anthem. As part of their triple-platinum album Stay Hungry, We're Not Gonna Take It spent fifteen weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number twenty-one. With lyrics by Dee Snider and illustrations by Margaret McCartney, this picture book follows three toddlers on a mission to defy their parents, whether it be lunchtime, bath time, or bedtime. We're Not Gonna Take It is a story both parents and children can relate to, and a song they can enjoy together.
