This is one of the most joyously interactive books you’re ever likely to find – yet there are no flaps to lift or tags to pull, no textures to feel, knots to tie or holes to poke fingers through. Instead, a combination of brightly coloured, painted dots and simple, encouraging instructions (‘press here’; ‘rub the dot on the right’; ‘tilt the page to the left… a little more’) leads to a riot of imaginative fun, as the shapes and colours tumble around the pages and lights blink on and off in response to readers’ actions when the pages are turned. It’s an absolute delight… and it doesn’t even come with a CD!
