Press Here

Stop. The. Presses.  I found a great book and am so excited to share it with you!  Press Here by Herve Tullet is truly a one-of-a kind book. I have never seen anything like it!

On the first page, the reader simply sees a yellow dot.  The text instructs the reader to "press here and turn the page."  Once you press the yellow dot, you (and your child) will be hooked.  Each page instructs you to press, rub, shake, tilt or blow on the page! You will be rewarded with some type of action on the next page!  This is truly an interactive book.  Who needs an iPad full of apps when you can read  Press Here?



Not only is this a fun book,  but it also full of teaching and learning.  The book is one big set of directions.  Read this book with your child and see if they can follow the simple one and two step directions.  This is also a great book for making predictions.  For every action, there is a reaction.  Have your child predict (make an educated guess) what is going to happen if they do as the book instructs.  

The audience for the book is meant to be pre-school aged children.  However, I guarantee you will love it!  I could not help but follow the instructions!  I think it is an age-less book.  

Get your hands on this book and try it out!
