Summary

A brilliant new companion book from the creator of PRESS HERE and MIX IT UP!
It's only a yellow dot。。。but what a dot it is! Readers won't be able to resist this jaunty, adventurous dot, nor its invitation to play along。 Thus begins a spectacular ride of color, motion, shape, and imagination, filled with the artistry and delight that we know and love so well from Press Here and Mix It Up! But on this journey, prepare to leap headlong into a completely new dimension: emotion。 Connecting not only to the mind but also to the heart, this dot expresses an extraordinary sense of humor, fear, joy, and more as it pushes, lurches, wiggles, and slides its way through—and even off!—the pages of this glorious companion to Press Here and Mix It Up!

A fun book, but I was expecting so much more because I love Mix It Up and Press Here so much。

Genre: PoetryGrade: KThis book is a good book for children in the younger grades to read and actually following along with the words in the book。 This book had the readers do different things with the illustrations。 This will help teach students to continue their confidence in reading and also to help them review how to follow instructions。

I like Press Here more but this was fine。 My 3 yr old wanted to read it again right away so he must have liked it。

Tullet invented a genre of interactive children's literature with his magnificent "Press Here", and this book -- the third in the series -- follows that path。In "Let's Play" the child 'plays' with a talkative yellow dot, helping it over obstacles and so on。 I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as "Press Here" or even "Mix It Up", and was thinking I'd be giving it a low rating。 But DD2 (4) loved it and we re-read it together frequently over the last week, a few times immediately after the Tullet invented a genre of interactive children's literature with his magnificent "Press Here", and this book -- the third in the series -- follows that path。In "Let's Play" the child 'plays' with a talkative yellow dot, helping it over obstacles and so on。 I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as "Press Here" or even "Mix It Up", and was thinking I'd be giving it a low rating。 But DD2 (4) loved it and we re-read it together frequently over the last week, a few times immediately after the previous re-read。 DS2 (just turned 6) read it several times to himself and followed along with the action, which was unexpected。 Props to Tullet for having a better understanding of my children's desires than I do。 。。。more

Encore une réussite avec ce livre-jeu。 On y aborde les couleurs, le mouvement, l'orientation spatiale (gauche, droite, haut, bas。。。), la motricité avec le traçage de boucles, de lignes droites ou courbes。 La vitesse également。 Le titre ne ment pas, c'est un véritable terrain de jeu pour les petits doigts !

در نسخه‌ی فارسی نشر دیبایه دو صفحه از کتاب جا افتادهترجمه هم کیفیت چندان خوبی نداره و خیلی خشک ودر بعضی جاها بسیار دم‌دستی و تحت‌الفظیه。در عین حال که معلوم نیست چرا قصه یک‌جاهایی با «من» یک جاهایی با «تو» و یک‌جاهایی با «ما» پیش می‌ره، در حالی که مخاطب و نقطه‌ی زرد باهم در حرکت هستند。 البته این مساله مربوط به ترجمه نیست و در متن اصلی هم همین‌طوره。 برعکس کتاب‌های دیگه‌ی نویسنده از انسجام کافی و ایده‌ی درخشانی برخوردار نبود

A wonderful book about creativity, that promotes imagination and interaction。

Not as good as the first but still a super fun book。 Even my older kids get in on it! Such an original idea。

Just like it's predecessors, Let's Play is total interactive fun。 (Same author as Press Here and Mix It Up。) Joey loves these books, and keeps playing with them in bed even after storytime ends。 (In case you're unfamiliar, the reader and/or the reader's young companion are given instructions on each page; turning the page yields the result。 For example, this one starts on page one by inviting the reader to play and then instructing them to press in the top right corner of the book。 When you turn Just like it's predecessors, Let's Play is total interactive fun。 (Same author as Press Here and Mix It Up。) Joey loves these books, and keeps playing with them in bed even after storytime ends。 (In case you're unfamiliar, the reader and/or the reader's young companion are given instructions on each page; turning the page yields the result。 For example, this one starts on page one by inviting the reader to play and then instructing them to press in the top right corner of the book。 When you turn the page, the yellow dot that had been in the middle of the book is now in the top right corner。) 。。。more

Good, but not as good as Press Here。

Not engaging for our 6-11 month old baby!

Fun lap book! Learn and play and giggle together ❤️

A new favorite of my 3 yo!

Hervé Tullet, the French author/illustrator who produced Press Here and Mix It Up!, two wonderfully interactive picture-books which involve the reader in a series of actions ostensibly meant to effect changes upon the following pages - the pressing of dots leading to their changing colors, and so forth - returns to the form in this latest title。 Here, the reader is invited to follow a yellow dot through many spirals and loops, in a playful game。 Finding the dot during a game of hide-and- Hervé Tullet, the French author/illustrator who produced Press Here and Mix It Up!, two wonderfully interactive picture-books which involve the reader in a series of actions ostensibly meant to effect changes upon the following pages - the pressing of dots leading to their changing colors, and so forth - returns to the form in this latest title。 Here, the reader is invited to follow a yellow dot through many spirals and loops, in a playful game。 Finding the dot during a game of hide-and-seek, helping it to jump or get through various obstacles, are all part of the fun。Unfortunately, although I greatly enjoyed Tullet's previous two titles in this vein, mentioned above, I didn't think that Let's Play was as successful as they were。 Unlike Press Here and Mix It Up!, I sometimes found the instructions here imprecise, and thought that they actions solicited didn't always correspond very well with the change seen on the next page。 There were also some design flaws - on the hide-and-seek page, the yellow dot almost can't be seen and pressed, because it is in the central gutter - which made the reading process a little less magical。 All in all, this was a bit of a disappointment to me, after loving the first two, although I will still be interested to see what Tullet produces, going forward。 。。。more

This takes a long time to read, but is super fun!

Pauline

Lovely, interactive text。。。would be perfect for one-on-one read alouds。

Heydi Smith

Loved this book but it still can’t match Press Here! Still a fun adventure for bedtime。

Kate

This is an interactive children’s picture book that encourages kids to touch and press the various colour dots to see what effect is has when you turn the page。

Karina

Read this for bedtime。 I'm a Hervè Tullet fan。 Second book I've read to kids and it does not disappoint! Even my nine-year old was into it。 Every page is filled with simple interactive art。 Love it。 Read this for bedtime。 I'm a Hervè Tullet fan。 Second book I've read to kids and it does not disappoint!

Not the type of book I can read to a class but to a few kids at a time。。。

Natasha

Fun interactive book for younger kids。 Not many words, and they're always suprised when I turn the page and the dot has "moved"。 Fun interactive book for younger kids。 Not many words, and they're always suprised when I turn the page and the dot has "moved"。 。。。more

I love Tullet's interactive books that play with color, shape, and artsy messes, though this book has fallen flat with the preschoolers I've read it with, despite my enthusiasm。 Either my sample size is too small or this does not have the same effect as Press Here or Mix it Up!

Like Press Here, but with a little more of a narrative arc。 Would be great paired with vie en rose rose and Plant the Tiny Seed

Génial!!!! Et simple !!!!

Kiddo loves it, I find it annoying。 Doesn't live up to the original。 Kiddo loves it, I find it annoying。 Doesn't live up to the original。 。。。more

I like the idea of Tullet’s work but this one just felt a little long and didn’t diverge from the same formula as Press Here。 I’m sure this is good for his target audience of children who want to physically interact with books, but from a creative standpoint I didn’t feel like it was much more than a repetitious sequel of sorts。

I only read this book with my older 2s because I wasn't sure that my younger 2s would have the self control to sit and wait their turn。 My older 2s did a great job。 I first explained the rules of being a book helper to avoid chaos, and I let them know that not everyone would get a turn and that's okay。 The kids loved coming to be helpers! I planned to only read 2 books instead of our usual 3 because this one takes a while to get through with all the helpers, but they wanted to read another after I only read this book with my older 2s because I wasn't sure that my younger 2s would have the self control to sit and wait their turn。 My older 2s did a great job。 I first explained the rules of being a book helper to avoid chaos, and I let them know that not everyone would get a turn and that's okay。 The kids loved coming to be helpers!
