Press Here by Herve Tullet | Storytime Videos | Children's Books Read Aloud
Press Here by Hervé Tullet is an interactive children’s picture book that turns reading into play. With simple instructions like pressing, tapping, and shaking the pages, children watch as colorful dots change, multiply, and move in response.
This playful book introduces key concepts such as colors, patterns, sequencing, and cause-and-effect in an imaginative and hands-on way. It’s perfect for group read-alouds or individual storytime, encouraging kids to think, respond, and explore what happens next. Read aloud by Mr. Tim of The Magic Crayons.
Teacher’s Corner
Before Reading
- Show the cover and ask: What do you think will happen if you press the dot?

- Ask: Did what you expect to happen actually happen?
After Reading
