Dots & Colors

November 18, 2012

Press Here by Herve Tullet is a Building Block nominee for 2012. Without so much as a single tab to pull or flap to lift, this might be the most interactive picture book of the year. The concept is so simple, yet creates magic power for a young child’s mind.

The first page asks you to press here and turn the page. As you press on the yellow dot in the center of the page, two dots appear on the page. The book progresses on with more dots and colors are added to the magic.

This is such a fun book that will keep your child entertained, and you may even want to cast your vote for this nominee. Voting has already begun and will continue until December 31, 2012.
