Margo's Musings: What Happens When You Press Here?

I was so excited to introduce my little sister, Margo, to one of my favorite books from a couple of years ago. A teacher read it to my class by putting the book up on the SmartBoard, and the story seemed like magic! I knew it would be a delightful book to read with a two year old.

Press Here by Herve Tullet is an interactive book. Each page gives directions to the reader and when they turn the page, those directions will appear to have been followed. For example, it may say, “tap the yellow dot three times” and then when you turn the page there will be three yellow dots instead of one. It's exciting to see what's going to happen next. Even when you tap, shake or flick you’re not exactly sure what the dots will do. Margo was thrilled! She giggled the whole time, and I loved seeing her reactions. It’s a book you can read over and over again. And even better—the author has at least two other books with the same kind of idea: Let’s Play, and Mixed Up. Super fun!


Has anyone else read Press Here or another book by Herve Tullet? Or do you have an interactive read aloud that you'd like to share. We'd love to hear your thoughts. 
Happy Reading!~ F
