I am a reader, I feel like I always have been. I am constantly surrounded by books in both my personal and professional worlds.
I have read excessively since the second grade. I have attempted, again and again, to keep a list of the books I've read and how I felt about them but so far have been unsuccessful. This is an attempt to keep track of the books I'm reading, and my thoughts about them. My goal is to publish at least one review a week (no promises though). Wish me luck!
*Note, while I will try to avoid major spoilers, I sometimes won't be able to help it.

"Press Here" by Hervé Tullet
This is the perfect children's book! Hervé Tullet's Press Here is a picture book that completely captures the imagination of those both young and old. It starts off with a white page that is blank except for one yellow dot and the instructions "Press here." With the turn of each page the dot grows in number, changes color, location and even size- all with the help of the reader! I love this book because
it works great both one on one or with a big group. I have used this
book with a group of elementary students and instead of doing the reading and actions myself, I have found that it works great as an activity and let the kids "press here." Even though this is just a book (not an iPad or other piece of technology) it still captivates the reader on an interactive level like
I have never seen before. It's also great for kids learning their
colors and learning to count. It's the kind of book that I want to own
for myself and want to use every time I read books to kids.
