Let’s Play!

Following the runaway success of Press Here and Mix It Up!, Herve Tullet is back with his next bookful of riotous fun. Let’s Play! is all about a crazy yellow dot that rolls up and down, multiplies and shifts into different colours as the story unfolds.

This is as close as you can come to animating a print book. It will have its young readers doing exactly as they are told by a yellow dot, following it up and down, across pages and into dark corners. There’s even clapping, shouting and jumping involved in order to further the little dot’s adventures. At one point the dot disappears altogether, coming to rest on top of the reader’s head, before a quick shake restores it to the page.

This is guaranteed fun for early learners and adults to share. Along the way, children are developing co-ordination, learning about up/down contrasts, shapes, speed, sound … but who wants to know about the boring educational bits when it’s just so much fun. Highly recommended for all parents with young children who love to laugh together. Enjoy!
