Product Information

Questions for Philosophical Discussion » Summary Press Here is an unorthodox book that introduces questions about causality and the paradox of fiction. The way the book is formatted, it becomes an experience the child wants to do over and over again. What is the best... the person reading with the child will not mind at all. Recently I became a Grandmother and our reading material covered all of the ones I had read with my children when they were little. Then more books arrived from relatives and others. It was eye-opening to see all these new books, creative and beautifully made.

I really think the suncatchers are beautiful. And all of the activities fit the theme of the book so well. My kids love those bingo markers. I need to get some. I'm going to pin your suncatcher! Its suitableness for its target age range. This is a book that is targeted for kids who are learning how to follow directions. They are learning their manners and how to put their clothes on and how to line up for things at nursery school and such, and this book is (pardon the pun) spot on for them.Follow a simple set of instructions and interact with the different coloured dots to see how your actions influence them – watch in amazement as the dots multiply, change colour and move around the book as you press on them or rub them – then turn over and start all over again. As more and more books really do require batteries, this fresh book is a magical gem. A giddy read-along of this deceptively simple book will make those flashy phone and iPad apps seem a lot less charming.

The reason why I am singing the praises of this book is due to how perfectly it accomplishes its goal.

When we talk about picture books that break down the fourth wall, we’re usually talking about titles that approach the reader directly with a narrative like The Monster at the End of This Book or Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus or Can You Make a Scary Face So where do we slot the little French import Press Here by Herve Tullet? Interactive but also reliant on the paper format, this here’s an entirely new breed of book. One that has its finger firmly on the pulse of what kids are used to, while at the same time finding a way to both upset and exceed their expectations.
