The New York Times bestselling book, a brilliant companion to the mega-selling classic Press Here, is now gently compressed into a toddler-friendly board book.
With the graphic intensity of Eric Carle, the whimsy of Leo Lionni, the humor of
The Day the Crayons Quit,
but a vision all his own, Hervé Tullet invites readers to MIX IT UP in a
dazzling adventure of color and tones, filled with magic and wonder.
This
New York Times bestselling book from the creator of
Press Here is now available in an ever-so-toddler-friendly board book edition.
Follow
the artist's simple instructions, and suddenly colors appear . . . mix .
. . splatter . . . and vanish in a vivid world powered only by the
reader's imagination. The result is not only enchantment and giggles,
but a real and deeper understanding of colors brought by a true master
of his craft. Just as in Press Here, Hervé Tullet sets readers on an
extraordinary journey of color, motion, and interactivity without ever
relying on the bells and whistles of technology, but rather by working
within the confines of the flat surface of an unassuming printed page.
Hervé once again displays his unique genius and vision, creating a work
that is a glorious and richly satisfying companion to
Press Here.
