press here {what we're reading}

This book is hands down

one of the most fun, original and enchanting books

that I've ever come across.

My beautiful boy loves it.

I love it.

The New York Times loves it.

The basic idea of Press Here by Herve Tullet

is that you follow the instructions given on each page

and you see what happens next.

It's incredibly simple.

But so beautiful executed.

I'm yet to see an adult pick up this book

and not get drawn into pressing down on spots on the page

and blowing away the dark pages.

There is something about this book that is just plain magical.

It feels so incredibly interactive

and yet needs no batteries,

which in this day and age is completely refreshing.

There is no doubt that my little man views this book

very much like a game or a toy.

He enjoys looking through it,

and remembering the directions.

He looks so incredibly proud of himself

as his actions give the results he expects.

In a nutshell this book is just pure fun.
It's creative, it's simple.
It's the kind of book I wish I'd invented.

We absolutely adore it.
