Press Here
by Herve Tullet
Goodreads Summary: Press the yellow dot on the cover of this book, follow the instructions within, and embark upon a magical journey! Each page of this surprising book instructs the reader to press the dots, shake the pages, tilt the book, and who knows what will happen next! Children and adults alike will giggle with delight as the dots multiply, change direction, and grow in size! Especially remarkable because the adventure occurs on the flat surface of the simple, printed page, this unique picture book about the power of imagination and interactivity will provide read-aloud fun for all ages!
Thoughts: This is an absolutely delightful book to read during small group settings. It works best with a smaller group, so reading it during everyday storytime might not work well if large numbers are expected. I would also say that it's definitely geared for the preschoolers and it might work for 3 year olds, but not any younger. I've read this book twice during my library's Story Stop (which is an informal, 15 minute storytime we offer), and the kids loved it both times. It also draws the kids who are a little bit shy because they really want to see what happens on the next page. There's not a whole lot of vocabulary or narrative building skills, but it's a very fun book that I think kids would love to read again and again.
