Tullet's whimsical, imaginative book is absolutely ADORABLE. Engaging and surprising, funny and clever, you automatically end up obeying and interacting this darling book without a second thought--from pressing the yellow dots, counting and clapping--and are quite pleased and/or dismayed by the results that occur from the actions with every page turn! It's cheerful encouragement is a delight, and it sneakily includes practicing colors, counting and more into its simple but effective sentences.
Just out this March, this is definitely a fantastic addition to any family's bookshelf. This little book has been raved over in every review I've read, from the basic praise "Simple in appearance, genius in execution" to being credited with proving that books need not lose out to "electronic wizardry", as they can be just as engaging. It WILL get you to smile while you're reading...and perhaps even squeak out a chuckle or too. Perfect for young children, this book is still entertaining for child-like adults (myself included!). You can't help but feel accomplished when you turn the last page; this is one to reread over and over again. To quote the book: "Bravo!"
Kerry gives "Press Here" 5 out of 5 carrots! (and it's also one of Clare's picks!)
