Press Here


Author: Hervé Tullet
Ages: 3 up!
Rating: 5/5

The first time I came across this book I was fascinated. What a creative wonderful idea for a book! I immediately brought it out to the front desk where I was working, and made an impromptu storytime with a co-worker. An older gentleman observing us, asked if he could participate in the story. He gently shook the book when the pages asked him to, and clapped loudly with other staff members when I asked for all their help with the book.

Now, I've finally used it with the age group the publisher intended it for -with roaring success. First a group 5-6 year olds who giggled and laughed throughout, then with a group of 3-4 year olds who participated with awe.

A favorite of mine for storytimes from now on. There's enough pages that I can get every child to have a turn making something in the book happen.

Still not sure what makes this book so great?
I don't think I can even describe it. Watch this Book Trailer instead.
