Touch This Book….Press Here by Herve Tullet

Press Here by Herve Tullet c2010 Chronicle Books

Can you entertain anyone with a book consisting entirely of simple colored dots? Turns out you can, uproariously. Press Here is a participation book that has to rank as one of the most imaginative concept books ever created. Readers touch the colored dots on a page, turn the page, and magic happens. The dots multiply, slide over the pages, and change as the reader presses, tilts, or shakes the book. All without batteries!

Shake a book with straight lines of colored dots and see what happens!

This book is a counting book, color book, a primer for following directions, and a book that will be requested by your young listener again and again. If you read it at bedtime, sleep will be delayed considerably. It is a sturdy book with a board cover and tough pages to withstand many readings. This book has been a huge seller. It is a perfect gift book for families with toddlers, and anyone facing a long plane ride with young children. I have shared it with children of all ages, and adults find it very cool too.

Herve Tullet has continued to create clever, screen-free wonders for your children. Check them out soon.
