Summary:
Press the yellow dot on the cover of this book, follow the instructions within, and embark upon a magical journey! Each page of this surprising book instructs the reader to press the dots, shake the pages, tilt the book, and who knows what will happen next! Children and adults alike will giggle with delight as the dots multiply, change direction, and grow in size! Especially remarkable because the adventure occurs on the flat surface of the simple, printed page, this unique picture book about the power of imagination and interactivity will provide read-aloud fun for all ages!
Summary of Professional Reviews:
PS Tullet's ingenious interactive book begins with a yellow circle. On the next spread, the same dot appears: "Press here and turn the page"; a second yellow dot arrives on the following page. Pressing, tilting, blowing, and clapping further transform the dots. The simplicity of Tullet's presentation illuminates picture books' tactile and kinetic aspect, making the old form seem the height of postmodernism.
Review by Rokaya:
This is great book that has fun ways to teach children their numbers, colors, directions and senses. The author used interesting illustration to help students follow along with the dots and use their imagination. The art is excellent and shows circles in different sizes.
This book would be useful when teaching…
This is great book to use as a teacher. Teachers can use this book to evaluate what level they are on based on their understanding of colors, directions, and counting abilities. The teacher can individually pull students and read them the book and test them on accuracy of the directions in the book.
