Press Here by Herve Tullett

Book CoverPress the yellow dot. Shake the book, just a little. Blow on the page and see what happens to the dots. This magical book presents a creatively interactive experience for children. Reminiscent of using an iPad the story Press Here provides the child with a reading experience engaging enough to compete with a video game or a touch screen device. The narrator encourages and instructs the reader to experience colorful dots that move around the pages, change shapes, and change sizes depending on the instruction. Press Here is an imaginative and interactive book to engage young readers who will enjoy the colorful presentation.
