Press Here: Herve Tullet: 1 (Press Here by Herve Tullet)

Press Here by Hervé Tullet is an interactive children’s picture book built around a simple starting point: press the yellow dot on the cover and continue by following the instructions inside. Each spread forms part of a playful sequence, with the reader guided from one action to the next.

As the pages turn, the prompts ask you to push, shake and tilt, with changes appearing from spread to spread. The dots respond by multiplying, shifting direction and growing in size, creating a surprising progression that unfolds entirely on the flat, printed page. Designed for shared read-aloud enjoyment, it uses imagination and interactivity to shape the experience.
