Let's Play by Hervé Tullet

Tullet, H., & Franceschelli, C. (2016). Let's play! San Francisco: Handprint Books.




Creativity at its best. Let’s play by following the journey of a yellow dot in which no kid of any age will be able to resist. A simple way to allow a child’s dexterity in following the lines leading to the ball will enhance these skills while having fun. Why not make this a hands on experience and allow children to practice over and over so that they follow the lines to the very yellow dot?

I read this with both my boys, 4 and 9 and although at first he was a bit reluctant, my 9 year old followed the yellow dot as well. Despite the fact that there's no story line, this activity is fun to do as a hands on reading fun experience and as simple as it, it helps children follow instructions. Yes! For example, when the circle is in the bottom right hand corner, it tells them to go to the middle of the page, and when you flip the page, guess what? That's what the circle is!
