(2) PS Translated by Christopher Franceschelli. Like its predecessors Press Here (rev. 7/11) and Mix It Up (rev. 11/14), this offering by Tullet is a creative and enjoyable model of lo-fi interactivity and a lesson in cause-and-effect, here with an additional element of performance. On the first page we are instructed to place our hand atop a blue handprint and "concentrate." The next page is a warm-up: colorful motion lines appear around the handprint as we practice wiggling our fingers. Then "the show" begins with stage-direction-like text: "Circle around the page three times...Whooo! Your fingers happily jump around on all the dots...Here they take little leaps, as light and frisky as a baby goat." The balletic movements result in shapes and patterns that recall Matisse, Haring, and the Lascaux caves, with some room for nonprescriptive creative self-expression. For those who are used to scrolling and swiping, the motions will be familiar; the payoff comes not with pixels but via analog imagination.

(2) PS Translated by Christopher Franceschelli. Tullet's latest interactive picture book (Press Here) plays with sounds, primary colors, and creativity. The book begins in familiar fashion: touch a small blue dot and "say a little oh!" Press a large blue dot and "say A HUGE OH!" The friendly narrator encourages listeners to play along in increasingly imaginative scenes. The joyous finale erupts in a glorious mix of sounds and primary- and secondary-color dots.

(4) PS Translated by Christopher Franceschelli. Tullet's latest begins well but loses focus as it follows a yellow dot on a black line through a variety of participatory activities. There is little direction to the story, and the hide-and-seek page is disappointing, as the yellow dot is hidden in the gutter so the reader can't easily "rub me really hard." Nevertheless, the playful concept is clever and valuable.

(2) PS Translated by Christopher Franceschelli. Tullet follows the same format as Press Here; this time the play focuses on what happens when you mix colors. We learn by example--and without mess--by "mixing" with a finger or shaking or tilting the book to make the colors "run." Blobby impasto paint and "accidental" finger prints around the edges invite children to try mixing in real life.
