Press Here looks like a fun book, but isn’t it similar to what James Marshall did in 1990 with Quick Turn the Page? I enjoyed that one more, probably because the characters captured my interest more than changes in geometric patterns.

I’m holding out hope for Me … Jane. Hope the photo at the end will not interfere with its eligibility.

Oh Roger….. I seem to remember you always being the one to trim the tree and sing
…..fall on your knees…. I hope all is well, I had to check your choices for my great nephews
Jack turning 5, Alex turning 3, and Henry turning 1. I was thinking of “Press Here”, “I want My Hat Back”, and “Naamah and the Ark at Night”. I also have two teenagers to buy for;
Isabel (16) at Whitney Young and Paul (14) at Walter Payton. I’m thinking “Chime” or “The Scorpio Races” for her and “The Hunger Games Trilogy” for him. What do you think?
Take care.

Ice by Aurthur Geisert. And also, Press Here, of course. What a year for French picture books.

I agree with you. I bet someone has written a careful nomination already. I bet it will be a hearty discussion, too.

Lolly, I’m here, just not all that proud of my daughter’s sarcastic attitude! She loved Press Here the first bunch of times she looked at it, but then I caught her reading it to herself in a hissy mood–deliberately not following the directions, and saying, in her smart-mouthy six-year-old way, look, it works even when I don’t do anything. She would have rolled her eyes, but she hasn’t quite mastered that yet–her attempt looks more like she’s watching a tennis match, followed by a “Did I roll my eyes that time? What about now? How do you do this anyway?” I still love Press Here, and I’m sure she would too, in a less punchy mood.

I also wonder about Kadir Nelson’s Heart and Soul–I think a smart committee member could make a case for its being a picture book.

PS: Hope you are feeling better Lolly. And I’m looking forward to the mock vote.

My son loves ‘Press Here’. I’m so glad you have written about it. He is 5 and had no problem stepping into his world of imagination and/or suspending reality to enjoy it.
