Press Here: Hervé Tullet: 1 (Herve Tullet)

Product Information

Tullet combines simple, colorful dots with simple, clear directions for a book bound to lead to interactive fun. Follow a simple set of instructions and interact with the different coloured dots to see how your actions influence them – watch in amazement as the dots multiply, change colour and move around the book as you press on them or rub them – then turn over and start all over again. PRESS HERE, MIX IT UP!, LET'S PLAY!, and SAY ZOOP! Collect all four interactive books from Herve Tullet. The paradox of fiction refers to people being “moved” (normally emotionally) by fictional characters, events, or situations despite knowing that they are fictional and not real. How can we explain that we feel sad for a character in a book even though we know that they do not really exist? Or that we feel frightened by a monster in a film, despite knowing that no such monster exists? Or, in the case of Press Here, that we reach out and press, or blow, or clap, despite knowing that we are not really making anything happen when we do so?

Press Here is interesting in this way it does move us in a very clear way to take part and engage in the illusion that we are making things happen in the book, even though we know very well we are not. And this does not only happen the first time we read it. It happens again and again every time we look at it. Causality Yes, This is NOT a Romance book or even a Mystery/Thriller. Yes, my reviewing a children's book is quite unusual. Well, sometimes I will experience something so impressive, I cannot stop myself from telling everyone about it.The way the book is formatted, it becomes an experience the child wants to do over and over again. What is the best... the person reading with the child will not mind at all. Philosophers of art have tried to explain this paradox in different ways. Some have suggested that, with fiction (at least with good fiction), we enter a special state whereby we willingly suspend disbelief and–at least momentarily– embrace it as “real.” Others suggest that it’s not entirely accurate to say we are moved by fictional characters or events. When we say we feel sad for a character in a book, what we are really saying is that we feel sorry for people in real life who could be in that situation or in a similar situation. Others suggest that it is another form of “pretending” or make-believe (that is, we don’t “really” feel sad or frightened, we are just pretending). When we talk about interactive picture books we’re usually talking about pop-up books or tactile books with fuzzy/bumpy details. When we talk about picture books that break down the fourth wall, we’re usually talking about titles that approach the reader directly with a narrative like The Monster at the End of This Book or Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus or Can You Make a Scary Face So where do we slot the little French import Press Here by Herve Tullet? Interactive but also reliant on the paper format, this here’s an entirely new breed of book. One that has its finger firmly on the pulse of what kids are used to, while at the same time finding a way to both upset and exceed their expectations. Original questions and guidelines for philosophical discussion by Ellen Duthie. Edited June 2020 by The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. I was pressing, rubbing, shaking and clapping along as I read the book, which I finished with a huge smile on my face - and I'm almost 47, yo, so just imagine how much more fun this book is for an actual child. Highly recommended for anyone with someone in the 2-7 age range around who wants to have some fun.

As more and more books really do require batteries, this fresh book is a magical gem. A giddy read-along of this deceptively simple book will make those flashy phone and iPad apps seem a lot less charming. If you know that it’s not you making things happen, why do you do it? What makes you continue doing it?

The reason why I am singing the praises of this book is due to how perfectly it accomplishes its goal.

Nagyon vicces! :D az öt és fél éves annyira élvezte, hogy egymás után kétszer végigjátszotta, és nekiállt volna a harmadik körnek is :) a másfél éves segített tapsolni :D It was on the new shelf when I dropped books off at the library yesterday, so I grabbed it. Later, after supper, I found Tosh rooting through my library bag to see what I'd brought home. We "read" it together. We are by no means babies, and we were both mighty amused. Delightful. This interactive picture book experience will, I suspect, by very your-mileage-may-vary depending on personality type. AS an adult I found it cute; as a child of the intended age I suspect I would have argued a bunch about how dumb it was. Maybe that's also beneficial? It works as a teaching tool and at first, it is just the reader doing all of the actions. But in no time, the child learns to point, understands clapping, counting, colors and how every action has a reaction.So incredibly cute and colorful. You really need to be sharing all of these wonderful projects with more than just little G! You need to plop your beautiful self in to a women's shelter, or some place where children don't have the benefit of amazing creativity and freedom to just let their little minds have fun. I am just amazed with all of the projects you come up with! I really think the suncatchers are beautiful. And all of the activities fit the theme of the book so well. My kids love those bingo markers. I need to get some. I'm going to pin your suncatcher! Press Here touches on two main philosophically interesting issues, namely, causality and the paradox of fiction. The paradox of fiction Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).
