Lovable, Furry Old Grover in Please Don't Push the Red Button was a book-and-tape set released by CBS Toys for the Electronic Talk 'n Play interactive toy in 1984. (It was later re-released by Hasbro, under the Playskool label.)

On the tape, Grover guides the listener through a series of puzzles and games, but requests rather emphatically that the listener never push the red button on the Talk 'n Play unit. If the red button is pushed, Grover usually offers gentle corrections ("We are not pushing the red button today!") but occasionally he becomes a bit exasperated.

Please Don't Push the Red Button includes the song "Everyone Makes Mistakes".
