Why read it?

3 authors picked Press Here as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Without using any physically interactive mechanisms, this book still engages!

It breaks the fourth wall and the narrator asks you directly to do certain tasks—tap the dot, tilt the book to the left, shake the book, etc. When reading this book with my kids, I’ve never heard so many giggles. It is also a great way to help teach my kids colors, actions, and directions. Reading this book becomes a form of play!

From Jackie's list on interactive picture books for kids.

Hervé managed to have more success with this book than the app with the same title, I believe. I think this is because, by obeying a series of instructions - tapping, blowing, or shaking the book, for example, you appear to make the dots move. When you turn the page, the dots are where you ‘put’ them. Again, the colours and imagery are simple but the overall effect is very clever and a bit magical. My book transports the mind and makes magic connections in the same way.

From Patrick's list on pictures that say a thousand words.

I know it's not supposed to be something you're "good" at, but I've never been any good at meditating. Until I bought this book for my niece and nephew that is. I read it with them a couple of times, then read it alone a hundred more. If you're feeling lost, this book will help you feel found. If you're overwhelmed by life, this book will show you how simple it can be. Just press the little yellow circle, it duplicates. Rub one of them, it turns red. Shake the book around, the circles fall down. All you need to…

From Lee's list on when you feel lost in life.
