Press Here (Herve Tullet)

This book is useless--it must be defective. Each page has various dots and something that says to press the dots but absolutely nothing happens if the dot is pushed. I had purchased the book for a neighbor child and cannot give it to her because a book of dot pictures with nothing else except dots that do nothing is worthless.

A decade ago there was a little boy, much younger than he is now, who absolutely refused to read any books. This was one of the two books I tried reading to him that were actually successful. He got so excited, you can’t imagine how into it he was. Ever since then, I’ve made sure to tell people this was THE book for a staunch anti-reader. It’s not so much for teaching reading skills, but the engagement was incredible to witness.

I ordered the English version of this book but received the Spanish version. No big problem because I have bilingual students but the real problem for me was the condition of the book I received. The book was listed as being in good condition, the book I received was in bad shape. The inside pages were acceptable but the front cover was really falling apart. Because of the front cover condition I really didn’t want to open the book let alone give it to students. Very disappointed that this was not disclosed. ☹️ will think twice about future purchases from this seller.

Just ok

My boys are 2 and 4 and they absolutely loved this book! Begged to read it multiple times in a row and they keep going back to it.

My three year old daughter acted like it was magic. She was squealing and clapping.

We LOVE this super fun book! It's like magic. Every little one 3-6 should own a copy.
