Description
This silly and sweet picture book introduces young children to colors through humor and clever interactive elements. For fans of Hervé Tullet's Press Here. Here's a button. I wonder what happens when you press it? Follow a group of animal friends as they discover a collection of mysterious buttons, all of which do different things! From a blue singing button to a purple tickle button, from a rude sound button to a mysterious white button, there's only one way to find out what they do: press them all! And thankfully, there's even a sleeping button to lull the animals to sleep after a busy day. A lively introduction to colors and shapes, The Button Book is the perfect interactive book for storytime (and bedtime!).

Critical Reviews
One of The Guardian's Best Children's Books of 2019
A 2021 Bank Street Book of the Year PRAISE FOR The Button Book "More confirmation that children's book creators are unsung geniuses." --The New York Times Review of Books "British writer Nicholls' simple, silly narrative and Woollvin's colorfully childlike illustrations result in a fun picture book that incorporates shapes and colors and that can be used at home and in libraries and classrooms. . . . [The book] should have readers and caregivers singing, clapping, and bouncing along." --Kirkus Reviews "There's lots of scope for adult and child pizzazz in pushing the button pictures and acting out the results -- clapping, singing, blowing raspberries (sure to be a favourite)." --Toronto Star
