Press Here by Herve Tullet


I love interactive picture books. This trend is something that became very popular with the Pigeon series, and now there are many of these "you are part of the book" picture books. The new picture book by French author/illustrator Herve Tullet, Press Here is as interactive as any digital picture book out there. I just finished reading it aloud to my kids when they begged to read it again. It begins with simple instructions to press a yellow dot, which leads to more dots, which leads to the reader having to tap, clap, blow, and shake along with the dots. It's like a video game in print form. It is great for reading to a class of Kindergarteners as there are enough pages in the book for each student to have a turn interacting. It is such a clever book that I am surprised nobody has thought of it before. Love it!  Check out the book trailer as well.
