PS
Tullet's ingenious interactive book begins with a yellow circle. On the next spread, the same dot appears: "Press here and turn the page"; a second yellow dot arrives on the following page. Pressing, tilting, blowing, and clapping further transform the dots. The simplicity of Tullet's presentation illuminates picture books' tactile and kinetic aspect, making the old form seem the height of postmodernism.
