Press Here: Board Book Edition: 1 (Herve Tullet)

Bought for reading in a play setting, I had anticipated this really only appealing to our younger children, but was pleased to be proven very wrong. The first time I started reading it I started with an audience of two - a three and four year old. By the time I'd got to the end, I had an audience of fifteen, aged between three and eleven, and every single one wanted us to start again as soon as we'd got to the end. Whereas our younger children did believe that they were causing the images to change, the older ones obviously understood that this was not the case, but that didn't detract from their enjoyment of it. They enjoyed predicting and even knowing what was going to be on the next page! Since its first outing it (and the simliar 'Mix It Up' by the same author, which we got at the same time) have been requested at every single session and what I, as someone running a play setting, have particularly enjoyed seeing, is the pleasure the older children are getting from being the ones reading it to their younger playmates. They have even tried making their own versions to share. I suspect we're going to end up having to buy several copies of this, and I suppose the best recommendation I can give is that we'll be very happy to do so!

Ideal for young kids. ChatGPT assessment below

This is such a great book that we’ve bought more as gifts. Such a simple idea but a fab way to encourage little one to engage with books. There’s others by the same author that are fun too. This board book is just perfect even years later now our children can read it themselves they still enjoy it.

My 2 year old enjoyed this book we have read it several times now and it’s a fun, different book. Keeps child engaged and listening.

I bought this book for my daughters first birthday. I honestly couldn’t be happier, I’ve gone through the book a couple of times myself now and it’s so funny and interactive. Such a fun way of teaching a toddler cause and effect and encourage them to stay focussed. This one will definitely be a favourite in the reading corner for some time to come, genius. Item arrived on time and was well packaged. The overall look of the book is deceiving as it’s honestly the best one of the shelf now.

Love this book, it's a great favourite among the young and old

A great little book

I love this book, I'll admit that it genuinely entertains me as a grown adult, and the kids I have read it with have really enjoyed it (ages ranging from 1-3 so far)

I read amazing reviews of the book and I probably was more excited than my 2.3 year old about this book. And I sure am not disappointed. Its an beautiful, colorful, give-wings-to-your-imagination kinda book. The dots do amazing things - increase, change color, move to one side of the book, etc. The instructions accompanying the pages and simple and clear. But that said, this book did not engage my 2.3 year old a lot. He calls in the 'Dot book', but he loses interest at about page 4 or 5. Also while the cover is a hardcover, the pages inside are glossy and relatively thin. My independent 2 year old wants to turn them on his own and I am not sure it will withstand this assault. I have kept this book aside for now, and plan to reintroduce it when he is about 2.8 years. I am pretty sure he will love it.

Het boekje is beschadigd aan de bovenkant, deuk en scheurtje. Het was als cadeautje bedoeld, zo kan ik dat echt niet afgeven. Het boekje is beschadigd in de verpakking gestoken want de verpakking was ok

Fun book for all ages, especially pre-school. The board book is sturdy and I use it in Kindergarten groups and it is really put to the test of being handed around and handled by many little hands. Can only recommend.

As a kindergarten teacher, I sometimes bring in my own books to class for storytime - this being one of those books. My personal class ranges from 2-4 and they absolutely love this during storytime, as all 18 of them can intereact with the story while still sitting down. While I definitely wouldn't leave the book to the children as the inner pages would be ripped, the cover is pretty sturdy! I've even read it to the older kids in the kindergarten and they still really enjoy the interaction in the book.

Amamos los libros de Hervé Tullet, y éste título sin duda es imprescindible! Es un libro que atrapa a los pequeños. Es un favorito de mi hija de 4 años. Dice que es mágico. Incluso su hermano, que le dobla la edad, lo disfruta.
