This is a silly and fun book for young children. They will squeal with delight as they push each button and turn each page!
What a lovely book! Each button has a unique color, shape, and activity that are sure to generate interest and smiles in very young readers (18mo - 3yrs). This is one of those books that will likely be requested over and over because it's fun, funny, and invites lots of fun interaction with the parent/caregiver/reader.
Because of the actions that go with each button, this would probably be best as a one-on-one or small group read. The energy level could range from lively to outright pandemonium with bouncing, tickles, and hugs, but it ends on a quiet note that will help everyone regroup if a transition is necessary afterwards.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
The Button Book by Sally Nicholls is delightful and fun. I will definitely be using this title in my library story times for ages 0-5, where we will highlight the colors and shapes of each button. The interactive buttons each call for a response from the listeners that will work perfectly in the library setting where the child is often sitting with their caregiver who can hug them and tickle them when those actions are called for, rather than in a child care classroom setting where kids tickling each other may cause more distraction or drama than desired during story time.
