Press Here

Tullet, H. (2011). Press here. San Francisco: Chronicle Books.

Recommended Age: 2+
Format: Hardcover
 
Press Here is an interactive children's book. The text tells the child to press on the dot on the page, and when you turn the page there are 2 dots. The text in the book tells the child to press again and once you turn the page there are three dots. After rubbing the dots and turning the page there are three different color dots. After tapping the dots and turning the page, the dots multiply. Shaking the book and turning the page makes the dots spread out. Tilting the book and turning the page moves all the dots to that side. When reading this to small children, once they follow the instructions, they think they are actually making these things happen and it makes the excited. It also teaches them to count, their colors, and their right and left. Working with small numbers like 5 and only 3 colors, like red, blue, and yellow eases toddlers into that information. This is a fantastic interactive book for toddlers, without all the moving parts.
